No

No is a city of the Nile, named in three prophetic oracles against Egypt. The fuller form "No-amon" appears once and identifies its patron deity. Each appearance is in a judgment passage: Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Nahum each set No among the Egyptian targets of Yahweh's wrath.

The patron-god compound

Nahum addresses the city by its full name: "Are you better than No-amon, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters round about her; whose rampart was the sea, [and] her wall was more than the sea?" (Nah 3:8). The river-island setting and the sea-like waterworks are part of how the prophet describes the city's defenses. Jeremiah names the same cult of Amon attached to the place: "Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says: Look, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him" (Jer 46:25). The pairing of "Amon of No" with Pharaoh and "her gods" puts the city's deity inside the list of objects of judgment.

Among the Egyptian cities under judgment

Ezekiel's oracle counts No three times among the Egyptian targets: "And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on No. And I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. And I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin will be in great anguish, and No will be broken up; and Memphis [will have] anguish daily" (Ezek 30:14-16). The city stands in a roll with Pathros, Zoan, Sin, and Memphis — judgment falling on each in turn, with No singled out for "judgments," loss of "the multitude," and being "broken up."
