Sibmah
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Coolness; fragrance, a town in Reuben, in the territory of Moab, on the east of Jordan (Joshua 13:19 ); called also Shebam and Shibmah (Numbers 32:3,38 ). It was famous for its vines (Isaiah 16:9; Jeremiah 48:32 ). It has been identified with the ruin of Sumieh, where there are rock-cut wine-presses. This fact explains the words of the prophets referred to above. It was about 5 miles east of Heshbon. Copyright Statement
