Land of Shinar

시날 땅

Named at Genesis 10:10, where the text says of Nimrod, “The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.” At Daniel 1:1–2 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes to Jerusalem and besieges it, and the Lord gives Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; “and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. He brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.” The Korean Revised Version reads 그가 그것을 가지고 시날 땅 자기 신의 묘에 이르러 (he took it and came to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god), with the singular 그것 (it) where WEB reads “them”.

¹⁰It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be glorious.
¹¹It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
¹²He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
¹³The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won’t envy Judah, and Judah won’t persecute Ephraim.
¹⁴They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will obey them.
¹⁵The LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.
¹⁶There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

ZEC 5:5–11, engwebp
⁵Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes and see what this is that is appearing.”
⁶I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—
⁷and behold, a lead cover weighing one talent was lifted up—and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah basket.”
⁸He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.
⁹Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.
¹⁰Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”
¹¹He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”
