[10:12]  ¹ tn Heb “and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; it [i.e., Calah] is the great city.”

[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.
