(Suʹphah).

As ordinarily rendered, a region or valley, probably in the vicinity of the Arnon. (Nu 21:14) This Hebrew word has been translated by such terms as “hurricane” (Ro) and “storm” (AS ftn). However, most modern translations indicate that it was a region or valley, saying that Vaheb was located “by Suphah” (JB) or “in Suphah.”​—AT, JP, NW, RS.
