Guiding Questions: Nahum 3

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Is the “city of blood” (that is, full of crime) identified?
Destruction is promised in Nahum 3:2-3 and the reason is set forth in Nahum 3:4; why is the city being destroyed?
In what verse, presently, does the prophet specifically indicate the city that he is describing?
What is the purport of the comparison in Nahum 3:8-9?
Why the reference in Nahum 3:13 to “women as your troops”?
Nahum 3:17-18 describe the former power of Assyria but, to what end?
The final verse (Nahum 3:19) summarizes the reason for the destruction of Ninveh — it represents a just retribution for what action on the part of the Assyrians?
