Assur. The Assyrians, who occupied the central part of the Tigris valley (see on Gen. 10:22).

Holpen. This word is an obsolete past participle of the verb “help.”

Children of Lot. Moab and Ammon (see Gen. 19:37, 38; Deut. 2:9, 19). These nations made use of the “arm” of the other nations to carry out their nefarious plan to exterminate Israel.

Selah. See p. 629.
