Nobah (Place)

A town east of the Jordan river. It was previously called Kenath. The town was given to Nobah the Manassite as his inheritance, and he renamed it after himself (Numbers 32:42). Nobah might be the same place as Kanatha, which was the easternmost city of the Decapolis during the time when the Romans ruled the area.

See also Decapolis; Kanatha.
