Erech, a place name; ancient Sumerian city in Babylonia (Gen 10:10)
Erech (Sumerian Uruk, modern Warka) was one of humanity's first great cities, located in southern Mesopotamia. Genesis lists it among the cities of Nimrod's kingdom in Shinar. The archaeological site reveals millennia of urban civilization. By including Erech in primeval history, Genesis connects biblical narrative to the ancient Near Eastern world's most prestigious urban centers, grounding salvation history in real geography.

1. sense 1 — Genesis 10:10 describes Nimrod's kingdom: 'The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.' Erech stands second in this list of foundational cities. The consistent transliteration (English/Spanish/French/German all preserve 'Erech' or very close variants like 'Érej') recognizes it as the famous Sumerian city. The Table of Nations thus anchors Israel's origins within the broader Near Eastern cultural matrix, not in mythic isolation. 1×
