Nebo (Babylonian deity, god of writing and wisdom)
The name of a major Babylonian deity, associated with writing, wisdom, and scribal arts. Isaiah 46:1 depicts Nebo alongside Bel (Marduk) as gods who 'bow down and stoop'—a scene of divine defeat where Babylonian idols are loaded onto beasts as refugees during conquest. The name Nebo appears frequently in Babylonian personal names (like Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan), showing the god's importance in Mesopotamian religion. Scholars connect the name with the Akkadian verb nabû meaning 'to call' or 'to name,' fitting for a deity of communication and wisdom. Isaiah's prophetic satire shows these vaunted gods reduced to baggage.

1. sense 1 — Divine name: Nebo (Nabû), the Babylonian god of wisdom, writing, and scribal arts, son of Marduk. Isaiah 46:1 presents a scene of theological reversal: 'Bel bows down, Nebo stoops'—not in worship but in collapse. Rather than being carried in triumph, these gods are themselves carried as burdens on weary animals. The prophet mocks idols that cannot save themselves, let alone their worshipers. Translators simply transliterate: English 'Nevo,' Spanish 'Nebo,' preserving the familiar name while stripping it of divine honor. This single prophetic occurrence exposes Babylonian theology as powerless before YHWH. 1×
