“Levanta-te e vai agora mesmo à grande cidade de Nínive. E assim que lá chegar prega contra ela a mensagem que Eu mesmo haverei de te entregar!” Tesouro da Escritura Nineveh. 280 miles north of Babylon, 400 N. E. of Damascus, in latitude 36? 20 N. longitude 73? 10' E. It was not only a very ancient, (Ge 10:11,) but also a very great city. Strabo says that it was much larger than Babylon, the circuit of which he estimates at 385 furlongs; and, according to Diodorus Siculus, it was an oblong parallelogram, extending 150 furlongs in length, 90 in breadth, and 480 in circumference, i.e., about 20 miles long, 12 broad, and 60 in compass. This agrees with the account given here of its being an exceeding great city of three days' journey, i.e., in circuit; for 20 miles a day was the common computation for a pedestrian. It was surrounded by large walls 100 feet high, so broad that three chariots could drive abreast on them, and defended by 1,500 towers 200 feet in height.
