Genesis 10:8-12
8 Cush fathered Nimrod, who was the first powerful man on earth.
9 He was a powerful hunter in the sight of the Lord. That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a powerful hunter in the sight of the Lord.”
10 His kingdom started with Babylon,(A) Erech,(a) Accad,(b) and Calneh,(c) in the land of Shinar.(d)(B)
11 From that land he went to Assyria(C) and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah,
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
