Assyria

This Hebrew name is pronounced “ash-shur” and is spelled “Asshur,” “Ashur,” or “Assyria” in English, depending on the context. This was a region of land, because at that time there were no cities. Most translations have “Assyria” here. Consider again how you translated “the land of” in verses 11 and 13. Alternate translation: “the land of Asshur”

וְ⁠הַ⁠נָּהָ֥ר הָֽ⁠רְבִיעִ֖י

and=the=river the=fourth

See how you translated a similar phrase in verses 11, 13-14. Also consider again whether it is best in your language to use present tense or past tense in verses 10-14. Alternate translation: “The name of the fourth river is” or “The fourth river is called” or “and the fourth river is”
