Asalim / Asari Quotes From Texts Asalim / Asari / Ashur = Osiris, Marduk‘s eldest son
“May Asari, the great ruler of the abzu (Enki‘s family domain),
who provides advice for all the foreign lands, the lordly one of Eridug (Eridu, Enki‘s city) …”

Zababa, Lugal-gu-dua, the king who builds temples, …”

“O Asari, ‘Bestower of planting,’ ‘Founder of sowing’
‘Creator of grain and plants,’
‘who caused the green herb to spring up!’
O Asaru-alim, “who is revered in the house of counsel,’
‘who aboundeth in counsel,’
The gods paid homage, fear took hold upon them!
O Asaru-alim-nuna, ‘the mighty one,’
‘the Light of the father who begot him,’
‘Who directeth the decrees of Anu, Bel (Enlil), and Ea (Enki)!’
He was their patron, be ordained their…;
He, whose provision is abundance, goeth forth’ …”
Biblical References
Genesis 10:8-12,
“And Cush (Kish) begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said,
Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech (Uruk),
and Accad (Akkad), and Calneh, in the land of Shinar (Sumer).

Ezekiel 32:22-23
“There are Assur and all his company: all his slain have been laid there:
and their burial is in the depth of the pit, and his company are set around about his tomb:
all the slain that fell by the sword, who had caused the fear of them to be upon the land of the living …”
Here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary has to say about Nimrod, the post-flood world’s first conqueror:
“Because his name seems to be connected with the verb “to rebel” (mārad), tradition has identified him with tyrannical power. He was the founder of the earliest imperial world powers in Babylon and Assyria. The table [Genesis 10] simply presents him as a mighty hunter, a trait found commonly in Assyrian kings. He was founder of several powerful cities. The centers he established became major enemies of Israel.”
Micah 5:6
“They will rule the land of Assyria (erets Asshur) with the sword,
the land of Nimrod (erets Nimrod) with drawn sword.
He will deliver us from the Assyrian (Asshur)
when he invades our land and marches into our borders …”
(Scholars tell us that Nimrod was King Hammurabi of Babylon)
