Cities:
The earliest notice in Scripture of city‐building is of Enoch by Cain, in the land of his exile (Genesis 4:17). After the confusion of tongues the descendants of Nimrod founded Babel, Erech, Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar, and Asshur, a branch from the same stock, built Nineveh, Rehoboth‐by‐the‐river, Calah and Resen, the last being "a great city." The earliest description of a city, properly so called, is that of Sodom (Genesis 19:1-22). Even before the time of Abraham there were cities in Egypt (Genesis 12:14-15; Numbers 13:22) and the Israelites, during their sojourn there, were employed in building or fortifying the "treasure cities" of Pithom and Raamses (Exodus 1:11). Fenced cities, fortified with high walls (Deuteronmy 3:5) were occupied and perhaps partly rebuilt after the conquest, by the settled inhabitants of Syria on both sides of the Jordan.
