uh-SEER-ee-uh
This place shows up in Genesis 25:18: “They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 25:18
“They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.”
