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, Erech,[a] Accad,[b] and Calneh,[c] in the land of Shinar.[d]
11 From that land he went to Assyria[e] and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, Calah,
12 and Resen, between Nineveh and the great city Calah.
13 Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (the Philistines came from them), and Caphtorim.[f]
