Genesis 10:8-12

« Gen 9Gen 10Gen 11 »

8 Now Cush ¹was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh.” 10 The beginning of his kingdom was ¹^aBabel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of ^bShinar. 11 From that land he went out ^ato Assyria and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah, 12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
