and these are the names Cf. the genealogy in 1 Chronicles 1:29-31.

Nebaioth Mentioned also in Genesis 28:9; Genesis 36:3, and in Isaiah 60:7, where the name is associated also with Kedar. Probably Nebaioth is to be identified with the Nabajâtiof the inscriptions of Assurbanipal. The identification with the Nabataeans, of the Christian era, is now generally abandoned.

Kedar Cf. Isaiah 60:7. Probably the Assyrian Ḳidri, a region on the Syro-Arabian frontier, mentioned as a hostile people in Psalms 120:5, dwelling in black tents (Song of Solomon 1:5) and in open villages (Isaiah 42:11; Jeremiah 49:28-31).

Possibly the Cedraeimentioned together with Nabataeiby Pliny are to be identified with these tribes.

Dumah Possibly the same as in Isaiah 21:11.
