Nahaliel
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
na - hā´li - el , na - hal´i - el ( נחליאל , naḥalı̄'ēl , "torrent valley of God"; Codex Vaticanus Μαναήλ , Manaḗl ; Codex Alexandrinus Νααλιήλ , Naaliḗl ): A place where Israel encamped on the way from Arnon to Jericho, named with Mattanah and Bamoth Numbers 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 Wâdy Wāleh , which drains a wide area to the Northeast of the Arnon; or perhaps Wâdy Zerḳā Ma‛ı̄n farther to the North.
