Genesis10:12
12. And Resen, between Nineveh and Calah: The same is a great City.
Either 1. Nineveh, which is called a great City, Ionah 3. 3. and 4. 11. and indeed was so, being 60 miles in compass. Thus it is a trajection, and the relative is referred to the remoter noun as sometimes is done, though this seems to be a little forced. Or 2. Resen; so the meaning is, though this City be much inferiour to Nineveh, yet this also, if compared with most others, is a great City.
