Rehobot-Ir
Beskrywing
Genoem onder die stede van Assur [Gen 10:11 ]. Waarskynlik moet die woorde "rehoboth'ir" egter vertaal word soos in die Vulgaat en die kantlyn van A.V., "die strate van die stad," of eerder "die openbare plein van die stad," d.w.s. van Nineve.

Rehoboth
broad places.
(1.) A well in Gerar dug by Isaac (Gen 26:22 ), supposed to be in Wady er-Ruheibeh, about 20 miles south of Beersheba.
(2.) An ancient city on the Euphrates (Gen 36:37 ; 1Chr 1:48), "Rehoboth by the river."
(3.) Named among the cities of Asshur (Gen 10:11 ). Probably, however, the words "rehoboth'ir" are to be translated as in the Vulgate and the margin of A.V., "the streets of the city," or rather "the public square of the city", i.e., of Nineveh.
