Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Resen, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a city in the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament or Septuagint.

Usage: Resen is used as a proper noun in the context of a city located between Nineveh and Calah, as mentioned in the Book of Genesis.

Context: Resen is identified as one of the cities founded by Nimrod, as recorded in Genesis 10:12. It is described as being situated between the prominent Assyrian cities of Nineveh and Calah. The passage in Genesis states: "Resen, which is between Nineveh and the great city of Calah." This city is part of the narrative that outlines the expansion of Nimrod's kingdom, which is associated with the early development of urban centers in Mesopotamia. The exact historical and archaeological identification of Resen remains uncertain, as it is not prominently mentioned outside of this biblical context. However, its inclusion in the list of cities suggests its significance during the time of its mention. The city is noted for its strategic location, potentially serving as a link or buffer between the larger cities of Nineveh and Calah.
