ne.vo is a proper name used for a locality, a mountain, and people identified with that place.

The name most often identifies a locality in territorial lists, settlement descriptions, and announcements concerning Moab; it also designates Mount Nebo and identifies groups called its sons or men.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally retains the name “Nebo,” explicitly using “Mount Nebo” in the mountain passages and “sons of Nebo” or “men of Nebo” in the census-like passages. These renderings describe the clauses rather than establish separate definitions.
