Kejadian 10:11-12

10:11 From that land he went ¹  to Assyria, ²  where he built Nineveh, ³  Rehoboth-Ir, ⁴  Calah, ⁵  10:12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city Calah. ⁶ 

[10:11]  ¹ tn The subject of the verb translated “went” is probably still Nimrod. However, it has also been interpreted that “Ashur went,” referring to a derivative power.

[10:11]  ² tn Heb “Asshur.”

[10:11]  ³ sn Nineveh was an ancient Assyrian city situated on the Tigris River.

[10:11]  ⁴ sn The name Rehoboth-Ir means “and broad streets of a city,” perhaps referring to a suburb of Nineveh.

[10:11]  ⁵ sn Calah (modern Nimrud) was located twenty miles north of Nineveh.

[10:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; it [i.e., Calah] is the great city.”
