Bible Question:
I am a US Soldier recently home from Iraq. While I was there I went to the what they called the Palace of Nimrud. They told us there that it is where the Sarah, Abrahams wife is buried. I have looked into this, and that is not what I have read. Also, they said something about the well's there. Could someone please elaborate on these for me? Like what connection if any does Jesus have with Nimrud? Who is buried at Nimrud? And what is special about the well's? Thanx |
Bible Answer: Nimrud was an ancient Assyrian city. Located there are the tombs of Yaba, Queen of Tiglathpileser III, king of Assyria 744-727 Banitu, Queen of Shalmanasser V, king of Assyria 726-722 Atalia, Queen of Sargon II, king of Assyria 721-705 Sarah was buried : (Gen 23:19 NASB) And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah facing Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan. Which is not in Iraq! I am sure the wells were used to draw water from them like most wells. |
