Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9
He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord."
10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11
From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12
and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
13
Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14
Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
15
Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;
16
the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
17
the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;
18
the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
