However, references to Assyria in the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) use transliterations like "Assour" (Ἀσσούρ).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "ashshur" primarily refers to Asshur, the second son of Shem, and the nation or people of Assyria, which descended from him. It is used in the Bible to denote both the individual and the powerful Mesopotamian empire known for its military prowess and significant role in biblical history.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Assyria was a dominant empire in the ancient Near East, known for its advanced military strategies, architectural achievements, and extensive library collections. The Assyrians were often seen as a tool of divine judgment against Israel and Judah due to their idolatry and disobedience. The capital city, Nineveh, was famously the site of Jonah's prophetic mission. Assyria's influence extended over a vast region, including parts of modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/833.htm">ashar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>step, going<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>step (1), steps (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">אֲשׁוּר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אָשׁוּר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font><sup>Psalm 44:19</sup> <font size="+1"><b>step, going</b></font> (compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb008101.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb008102.gif">, Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb008103.gif"> <em>footstep</em>) only suffix <font class="hebrew2">אֲשֻׁרוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/23-11.htm">Job 23:11</a>;
