<p> (Heb. Ashchur', אִשְׁחוּר, perh. '' | <p> (Heb. Ashchur', אִשְׁחוּר, perh. ''Black,'' otherwise ''Man Of Nobility;'' Sept. Ἀσχώ v. r. Ἀσδώδ, and Ἀσούρ v. r. Ἀχούρ )'','' a posthumous son of Hezron (grandson of Judah), by one of his wives (the daughter of Machir), [[Abiah]] ( 1 Chronicles 2:24). He had several sons by each of his two wives ( 1 Chronicles 4:5), and through these he is called (in both passages) the " father" (founder) of Tekoa, which appears to have been the place of their eventual settlement. B.C. cit. 1658. Schwarz suggests (Palest. p. 119) that the name may be connected with the [[Beth-Zacharias]] (q.v.) of [[Josephus]] (War, i, 1, 5); but this lies at some distance from Tekoa. (See [[Asshur]]). </p> <p> is the tenth day or tenth night of Moharram, which is the first month of the Arabic year. The word also signifies ten days or: ten nights. In ch. 89 of the Koran, God is introduced swearing by the ten nights.' The Mohammedans generally fast on this day for three reasons: </p> <p> '''(1)''' because the ancient [[Arabians]] observed it as a fast-day before the time of Mohammed; '''(2)''' because on this day Noah left the ark; and '''(3)''' because on this day God pardoned the Ninevites. </p> | ||
