Kejadian 36:37

36:37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth by the River ¹  reigned in his place.

Kejadian 10:11

10:11 From that land he went ²  to Assyria, ³  where he built Nineveh, ⁴  Rehoboth-Ir, ⁵  Calah, ⁶ 

Kejadian 26:22

26:22 Then he moved away from there and dug another well. They did not quarrel over it, so Isaac ⁷  named it ⁸  Rehoboth, ⁹  saying, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we will prosper in the land.”

Kejadian 36:31

36:31 These were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king ruled over the Israelites: ¹⁰ 

[36:37]  ¹ tn Typically the Hebrew expression “the River” refers to the Euphrates River, but it is not certain whether that is the case here. Among the modern English versions which take this as a reference to the Euphrates are NASB, NCV, NRSV, CEV, NLT. Cf. NAB, TEV “Rehoboth-on-the-River.”

[10:11]  ² 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]  ³ tn Heb “Asshur.”

[10:11]  ⁴ sn Nineveh was an ancient Assyrian city situated on the Tigris River.

[10:11]  ⁵ sn The name Rehoboth-Ir means “and broad streets of a city,” perhaps referring to a suburb of Nineveh.

[10:11]  ⁶ sn Calah (modern Nimrud) was located twenty miles north of Nineveh.

[26:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he”; the referent (Isaac) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “and he called its name.”

[26:22]  ⁹ sn The name Rehoboth (רְהֹבוֹת, rehovot) is derived from a verbal root meaning “to make room.” The name was a reminder that God had made room for them. The story shows Isaac’s patience with the opposition; it also shows how God’s blessing outdistanced the men of Gerar. They could not stop it or seize it any longer.

[36:31]  ¹⁰ tn Or perhaps “before any Israelite king ruled over [them].”
