Genesis 10:8-14

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Now Cush fathered Nimrod; he ^[a]became a mighty one on the earth. ⁹ He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” ¹⁰ And the beginning of his kingdom was ^[b](A)Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of ^(B)Shinar. ¹¹ From that land he went ^(C)to Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, ¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city. ¹³ Mizraim fathered ^(D)Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, ^14 (E)Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines), and Caphtorim.
