Babylon
Today: Babylon ruins, near Hillah, Iraq
A great city on the Euphrates River, in present-day Iraq, about 53 miles (85 km) south of Baghdad.
In its land the languages were confused at Babel (Gen 11:9). Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and took the people captive there (2 Kgs 25:1-11). Daniel lived there (Dan 1:1-6).
12And the chief who is in their midst will carry it on his shoulder in the darkness, and he will go out; they will dig through the wall to bring him out through it; his face he will cover, so that he will not see with his eye the land.
