To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This figure has been called that of a god, and has been supposed to represent the Nis- roch of Holy Scripture ; ^ but the only ground for such an identification is the conjectural derivation of Nisroch from a root nisr, which in some Semitic lan- guages signifies a "hawk" or "falcon." As nisr, The sacred basket (Khorsabad).
^ Supra, page 238.
■^ The basket is often ornamented with winged figures in adoivation before the sacred tree, and them- selves holding baskets. (See Layard, Monuments, Firs...t Series, Pis. 34 and 36.) ^ Layard, Nineveh and its Re- mains, vol. ii. p. 459.
Chap. VII I.
HAWK-HEADED GENIUB.
265 however, has not Been found with any such meaning in Assyrian, and as the word " Nisroch " nowhere appears in the Inscriptions,^ it must be regarded as in the high- est degree doubtful whether there is any real connexion be- tween the hawk-headed figure and the god in whose temple Sennacherib was assassinated.
The various readings of the Septuagint version ^^ make it extremely uncertain what was the name actually written in the original Hebrew^ text.
