Ašer
Kirjeldus
Ašurlased — mainitud nende seas, kelle üle tehti Iisboset kuningaks [2Sm 2:9 ]. Nende territoorium asub arvutuste järgi Gileadi ja Jisreeli vahel.
[heebrea Aššur], on vanim Assüüria pealinn Tigrise paremal kaldal [1Ms 2:14 ]. Selle linna järgi nimetati samanimeline riik ja selle elanikud, kes on 1Ms 10:22 järgi Seemi järeltulijad [Hs 27:23 ]. Vanemad Assüüria valitsejad elasid Aššuris kuni Salmanassar I ajani [umbes 1280 eKr], kes tegi pealinnaks Niineve. See ei olnud suur, kuid hästi kindlustatud ja loodusliku asendiga kaitstud. Linna põhjaosas asusid kuningate paleed ja jumalate templid, millest tähtsaim oli Assur [Aššur]. Seal oli tavaks matta surnud kodus. Tänapäeval on sellest linnast alles vaid varemed. *Assüüria.

Asher
happy, Jacob's eigth son; his mother was Zilpah, Leah's handmaid (Gen 30:13). Of the tribe founded by him nothing is recorded beyond its holding a place in the list of the tribes (Gen 35:26; 46:17; Ex 1:4), etc. It increased in numbers twenty-nine percent, during the thirty-eight years' wanderings. The place of this tribe during the march through the desert was between Dan and Naphtali (Num 2:27). The boundaries of the inheritance given to it, which contained some of the richest soil in Palestine, and the names of its towns, are recorded in (Josh 19:24-31; Judg 1:31; 1:32). Asher and Simeon were the only tribes west of the Jordan which furnished no hero or judge for the nation. Anna the prophetess was of this tribe (Luke 2:36).
