Ašer
Опис
Ašuriti — spomenuti među onima nad kojima je Iš-Bošet postao kralj [2Sam 2:9 ]. Njihova teritorija se prostire između Gileada i Jezraela.
[hebr. Aššur], je najstarija prestonica asirske države na desnoj obali Tigrisa [Post 2:14 ]. Po ovom gradu je nazvana istoimena država i njeni stanovnici, prema [Post 10:22 ] potomci Semovi [Jez 27:23 ]. Stariji asirski vladari su boravili u Ašuru sve do Salmanasara I. [oko 1280. p.n.e.], koji je učinio Ninivu glavnim gradom. Nije bio veliki, ali je bio dobro utvrđen i prirodno zaštićen. U severnom delu grada nalazile su se palate kraljeva i hramovi bogova, među kojima je najznačajniji bio Ašur [Aššur]. Bio je običaj da se mrtvi sahranjuju kod kuće. Danas su od ovog grada ostale samo ruševine. *Asirija.

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).
