<p> ''''' r ''''' .- ''''' ûr ''''' , ''''' r ''''' .- ''''' ir ''''' ( עיר רחבת , <i> ''''' reḥōbhōth ''''' </i> <i> ''''' ‛ı̄r ''''' </i> , "Rehoboth City"; [[Septuagint]] ἡ Ῥοωβὼς ( Ῥοωβὼθ ) πόλις , <i> ''''' hē ''''' </i> <i> ''''' Rhoōbṓs ''''' </i> ( <i> ''''' Rhoōbṓth ''''' </i> ) <i> ''''' pólis ''''' </i> , "the city <i> ''''' Rhoōbōs ''''' </i> , <i> ''''' Rhoōbōth ''''' </i> "): </p | <p> <strong> [[Rehoboth-Ir]] </strong> (lit. ‘broad places of the city’). One of the four cities in [[Assyria]] built by [[Nimrod]] ( [[Genesis]] 10:11 ). It immediately follows Nineveh, and might mean a suburb of that city, originally separate from it, but later annexed and containing some of its most spacious streets or market-places. [[A]] suitable identification has been found in the Assyr. [Note: Assyrian.] <em> rçbît Ninâ </em> (‘broad places of Nineveh’), mentioned by king [[Esarhaddon]] (b.c. 681 668). This is the exact equivalent of the Biblical name. In taking it over, ‘the city’ was substituted for ‘Nineveh.’ </p> <p> [[J.]] [[F.]] M’Curdy. </p> | ||

<p> ''''' r ''''' .- ''''' ûr ''''' , ''''' r ''''' .- ''''' ir ''''' ( עיר רחבת , <i> ''''' reḥōbhōth ''''' </i> <i> ''''' ‛ı̄r ''''' </i> , "Rehoboth City"; [[Septuagint]] ἡ Ῥοωβὼς ( Ῥοωβὼθ ) πόλις , <i> ''''' hē ''''' </i> <i> ''''' Rhoōbṓs ''''' </i> ( <i> ''''' Rhoōbṓth ''''' </i> ) <i> ''''' pólis ''''' </i> , "the city <i> ''''' Rhoōbōs ''''' </i> , <i> ''''' Rhoōbōth ''''' </i> "): </p> <p> The second of the cities built by [[Asshur]] (the Revised Version (British and American) by Nimrod) in Assyria ( Genesis 10:11 , Genesis 10:12 ). Unlike the other three, the exact equivalent of this name is not found in [[Assyrian]] literature Fried. Delitzsch points out ( <i> [[Wo]] lag das Paradies? </i> 260 f) that <i> '''''reḥōbhōth''''' </i> is the equivalent of the Assyrian <i> '''''rêbite''''' </i> , "streets," and suggests that the site referred to may be the Rebit Ninua, "streets of Nineveh," mentioned by [[Sargon]] of Assyria in connection with the peopling of Maganubba (Khorsabad or <i> '''''Dûr''''' </i> - <i> '''''Šarru''''' </i> - <i> '''''kı̄n''''' </i> ; see [[Nineveh]] ); and it was through this tract that Esar-haddon, his grandson, caused the heads of the kings of Kundi and [[Sidon]] to be carried in procession when he returned from his expedition to the Mediterranean. </p> <p> Though the probabilities in favor of Rebit Ninua are great, it is doubtful whether a suburb could have been regarded as a foundation worthy of a primitive ruler, and that a very important city, Assur, the old capital of Assyria, would rather be expected. One of the groups expressing its name is composed of the characters <i> ''''' Šag ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' uru ''''' </i> , or, dialectically, <i> ''''' Šab ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' eri ''''' </i> , the second element being the original of the [[Hebrew]] <i> ''''' ‛ı̄r ''''' </i> . As the "center-city," [[Assur]] may have been regarded as the city of broad spaces ( <i> ''''' reḥōbhōth ''''' </i> ) - its ruins are of considerable extent. The German explorers there have made many important discoveries of temples, temple- towers, palaces and streets, the most picturesque in ancient times being the twin tower-temples of [[Anu]] (the sky) and [[Adad]] (Hadad). The ruins lie on the Tigris, about 50 miles South of Nineveh. It practically ceased to be the capital about the middle of the 8th century [[Bc.]] See [[Nineveh]] . </p> | |||
