Nahaliel
(Heb. Nachaliel’, , possession [or valley] of God; Sept. v.r. ), the fifty-fourth encampment of the Israelites in the wilderness, between Mattanah and Bamoth (Num 21:19), apparently in the northern part of the plain Ard Ramadan, south-east of Jebel Humeh, perhaps on the northern branch of Wady Waleh (Bunrckhardt. 2:635). SEE EXODE. It lay “beyond,” that is, north of the Arnon (Num 21:13), and between Mattanah and Bamoth, the next after Bamoth being Pisgah. It does not occur in the catalogue of Numbers 33, nor anywhere besides the passage quoted above. By Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Naaliel) it is mentioned as close to the Arnon. Mr. Grove, in Smith’s Dict., suggests that “its name seems to imply that it was a stream or wady, and it is not impossibly preserved in that of the Wady Encheyle, which runs into the Mojeb, the ancient Arnon, a short distance to the east of the place at which the road between Rabba and Aroer crosses the ravine of the latter river. The name Encheyle, when written in Hebrew letters (), is little more than transposed.” SEE MATTANAH.

Nahaliel
possession, or valley of God, one of the encampments of the Israelites in the wilderness (Num. 21:19), on the confines of Moab. This is identified with the ravine of the Zerka M’ain, the ancient Callirhoe, the hot springs on the east of the Jordan, not far from the Dead Sea.

Nahaliel
na-hali-el, na-hali-el (, nahal’el, torrent valley of God; Codex Vaticanus , Manael; Codex Alexandrinus , Naaliel): A place where Israel encamped on the way from Arnon to Jericho, named with Mattanah and Bamoth Num 21:19. Eusebius, Onomasticon places it near to the Arnon. It is natural to seek for this torrent valley in one of the tributaries of the Arnon. It may be Wady Waleh, which drains a wide area to the Northeast of the Arnon; or perhaps Wady Zerka Man farther to the North.
