Suphah, a place east of Jordan
Suphah appears in one of the Old Testament's most obscure textual fragments—an apparent quotation from the lost 'Book of the Wars of Yahweh' in Numbers 21:14. The phrase 'Waheb in Suphah' defies clear interpretation, with ancient versions struggling as much as modern translators. It seems to mark a location east of the Jordan River, perhaps near the Dead Sea region. One proposal links it to Ṣāfieh, though phonetic correspondence is questionable. The passage preserves ancient poetic geography now nearly lost to us.

1. sense 1 — Place name found in Numbers 21:14 within a fragment from the Book of the Wars of Yahweh: 'Waheb in Suphah.' The phrase resists clear translation, preserving ancient poetic-geographic memory in cryptic form. Spanish 'Sufa,' French 'Suphah,' and German 'Suphah' simply transliterate. Some identify it with Ṣāfieh southeast of the Dead Sea, though certainty is impossible. The obscurity testifies to how completely some ancient sites disappeared from collective memory. 1×
