Genesis 10:11

From the Earth of Himself 381 Straight-one382 has gone out and he is building Nineveh, and Open-city,383 and Vigor,384

382

Who is Asshur? Strong’s #804, Ashshuwr is defined as both a place and a person. Yet we don’t learn of him until later as a builder of Shem (the Name) in Genesis 10:22. There is a lot of apparent “backwardness” in our story, but it is on purpose. Modern translators assume this verse refers to Nimrod.
