Genesis 10:8-12
-
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
-
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even 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 Shinar.
-
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
-
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
