Genesis 10:8-13
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And Cush begat Nimrod, who began to be [a]mighty in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Wherefore it is said, [b]As Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of [c]Shinar.
11 Out of that land came Assyria, and built Nineveh, and the [d]city Rehoboth, and Calah:
12 Resen also between Nineveh and Calah: this is a great city.
13 And Mizraim begat [e]Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim.
