Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root word אָשַׁר (ashar), meaning "to go straight" or "to be level, right, or happy."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ashshur in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, references to Assyria in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use the Greek transliteration of the name. Usage: The term Ashshur is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the Assyrian empire, its people, and sometimes its capital city. It is a proper noun referring to a geopolitical entity known for its powerful and expansive empire during the biblical period. Context: Ashshur, often translated as Assyria, was a prominent ancient empire that played a significant role in the history of the Near East. The Assyrian Empire, with its capital at Nineveh, was known for its military prowess, advanced architecture, and significant cultural contributions. In the Bible, Assyria is frequently mentioned as a dominant power that interacted with the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, often as an adversary. The Assyrians are noted for their conquests and the exile of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 BCE. Key biblical references to Asshur include: Forms and Transliterations אַ֠שּׁוּר אַ֭שּׁוּר אַשֻּׁ֑ר אַשּֽׁוּרָה׃ אַשּֽׁוּר׃ אַשּׁ֑וּר אַשּׁ֑וּרָה אַשּׁ֔וּר אַשּׁ֔וּרָה אַשּׁ֖וּר אַשּׁ֗וּר אַשּׁ֛וּר אַשּׁ֜וּר אַשּׁ֡וּר אַשּׁ֣וּר אַשּׁ֣וּר ׀ אַשּׁ֤וּר אַשּׁ֤וּר ׀ אַשּׁ֥וּר אַשּׁ֨וּר אַשּׁוּר֒ אַשּׁוּר֙ אַשּׁוּר֩ ׀ אַשּׁוּר֮ אשור אשור׃ אשורה אשורה׃ אשר בְּאַשּׁ֑וּר באשור וְאַשּׁ֑וּר וְאַשּׁ֔וּר וְאַשּׁ֖וּר וּבְאַשּׁ֖וּר וּלְאַשּׁ֑וּר וּמֵֽאַשּׁ֖וּר ואשור ובאשור ולאשור ומאשור לְאַשּׁ֣וּר לאשור מֵֽאַשּׁ֑וּר מֵֽאַשּׁ֔וּר מֵאַשּֽׁוּר׃ מֵאַשּׁ֨וּר מאשור מאשור׃ ’aš·šū·rāh ’aš·šur ’aš·šūr ’aššur ’aššūr ’aššūrāh ashShur ashShurah bə’aššūr bə·’aš·šūr beashShur lə’aššūr lə·’aš·šūr leashShur mê’aššūr mê·’aš·šūr meashShur ū·ḇə·’aš·šūr ū·lə·’aš·šūr ū·mê·’aš·šūr ūḇə’aššūr ūlə’aššūr uleashShur ūmê’aššūr umeashShur uveashShur veashShur wə’aššūr wə·’aš·šūrLinks Interlinear Greek • Interlinear Hebrew • Strong's Numbers • Englishman's Greek Concordance • Englishman's Hebrew Concordance • Parallel TextsEnglishman's Concordance Genesis 2:14 HEB: הַֽהֹלֵ֖ךְ קִדְמַ֣ת אַשּׁ֑וּר וְהַנָּהָ֥ר הָֽרְבִיעִ֖י NAS: east of Assyria.
