Reading for November 2nd
Read Nahum 3.8-19 Nineveh's fate is sealed.
In verse 8 Thebes was the capital of Upper Egypt which, though heavily defended,
was destroyed by the Assyrians in 663 BCE.
In verse 9 Put is a North African people associated with Egypt and Ethiopia (Jer 46.8-9).
In verse 19 Nahum's final verse summarizes the image of Nineveh held by all who had
suffered as a result of its imperial ambitions.
