Noph orMoph was theHebrew name for theancient Egyptian city ofMemphis, capital of Lower Egypt,[1] which stood on theNile near the site of modern-dayCairo. It is mentioned several times in theHebrew Bible (Isaiah 19:13; Jeremiah 2:16;44:1; 46:14, 19; Ezekiel. 30:13, 16).
Hosea 9:6 uses the older versionMoph[1] (e.g. inYoung's Literal Translation) although manyEnglish translations use the nameMemphis in this verse[2]
