Places
Assyria in Genesis 2
uh-SEER-ee-uh
This place shows up in Genesis 2:14: “The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 2:14
“The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.”
