The river did not cover the whole land, but wound through various parts of the land.
## the land of Cush ##
"the land called Cush". This was modern Ethiopia or Sudan.
## which flows east of Asshur ##
"which flows in the land east of the city of Asshur." The Tigris River flows from north to south. The phrase "which flows east of Asshur" is a relative clause. Some languages would not use a relative clause here. It can also be translated as "and it flows east of Asshur." (See the section on clauses in [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-sentences]].)
