The keys he kept for seventy years cost him a forgotten name
In this episode, we travel from a small town in northern Iraq to ancient empires to trace why a set of iron keys was entrusted to an Assyrian Christian in 1948 and held through war and decay. The story follows the tangled traditions, textual puzzles, and local claims that link a neglected tomb to the obscure prophet Nahum - but what does that link demand of the man who kept the keys?
Person: Sami Jajouhana
Location: Alqosh, northern Iraq
Date: 1948 (keys entrusted); January 2018 (stabilization work)
Topic: Nahum the Elkoshite; synagogue tomb; provenance of tradition
Textual issue: Thebes reference tense in Masoretic Text vs. Septuagint/Vulgate
- Sami Jajouhana, an Assyrian Christian, received and kept iron keys to the synagogue door starting in 1948.
- The locked space behind the synagogue’s iron door was treated as a tomb associated with the prophet Nahum by the local community.
- Multiple traditions place Nahum’s birthplace (Elkosh) in different locations: Galilee, Alqosh, Rameh, and the West Bank.
- A single Hebrew word about Thebes appears in different tenses across manuscript traditions, producing a century-long dispute over Nahum’s date.
- The Book of Nahum survives only as three chapters with a damaged acrostic pattern and almost no biographical detail beyond “the Elkoshite.”
