  • This article is about the city mentioned in the Bible. For the fictional location in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, see Erech (Middle-earth). Erech (Hebrew name ארך, meaning 'to extract' or 'draw out') according to the Book of Genesis, was an ancient city in the land of Shinar, the second city built by king Nimrod. While earlier Christian scholars such as Jerome (4th century) had had identified Erech with the Syrian city of Edessa, the modern consensus is that it refers to the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, in south Mesopotamia.
  • Ereque (nome em Hebraico ארך, significa 'extrair' ou 'retirar'), de acordo com o livro de Gênesis, foi uma antiga cidade na terra de Sinear, a segunda cidade construída pelo rei Nirode. O consenso entre estudiosos é que a localidade de Ereque é a mesma de Uruk (moderna Warka) no sul da Mesopotâmia.
