Editing Nisroch (section)

==Talmudic legend==
In the [[Talmud]], "Nisroch" is actually said to be derived from the Hebrew word "neser." Neser was the name given to a plank of wood discovered by [[Sennacherib]] on his return to Assyria from his campaign in Judah. The sages write that this plank was originally part of [[Noah's Ark]], and that Sennacherib worshiped it as an [[Idolatry|idol]]. It would therefore be concluded that it was this idol that Sennacherib was worshiping when he was murdered by his two sons.<ref>{{cite book|author=Reuven Chaim Klein|title=God versus Gods: Judaism in the Age of Idolatry|year=2018|publisher=Mosaica Press|isbn=978-1946351463|pages=348–350}}</ref>
