Suphah

SUPHAH sōō fə (סוּפָ֔ה). An area in Moab which is cited in the Book of the Wars of the Lord (Num 21:14). Its association with the Brooks of Arnon suggests that it was E of the Dead Sea in the area of the Arnon and its tributaries. The RSV reads “Waheb in Suphah.” while the KJV understands Suphah to refer to the Red Sea (yam Suph).
