Tel Abib

Tel Abib (Hebrew:תל-אביב‎, Tel Aviv; lit. "Spring Mound", where Spring (Aviv) is the season) is an unidentified place on the Kebar Canal, near Nippur in what is now Iraq. Tel Abib is mentioned in Ezekiel 3:15:

The biblical place name was adopted by Nahum Sokolow as the title for his Hebrew translation of Theodor Herzl's Altneuland ("Old New Land"). It later gave its name to the modern Israeli city of Tel Aviv; the Hebrew letter ב without dagesh represents a sound like [v] but is traditionally transcribed 'b' in English translations of the Bible.
