He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD."
10
The beginning of his kingdom was Bavel, Erekh, Akkad, and Kalneh, in the land of Shin`ar.
11
Out of that land he went forth into Ashshur, and built Nineveh, Rechovot-Ir, Kelach,
12
and Resen between Nineveh and Kelach (the same is the great city).
13
Mitzrayim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehavim, Naftuchim,
14
Patrusim, Kasluchim (which the Pelishtim descended from), and Kaftorim.
15
Kana`an became the father of Tzidon (his firstborn), Het,
16
the Yevusi, the Amori, the Girgashi,
17
the Hivvi, the `Arki, the Sini,
18
the Arvadi, the Tzemari, and the Hamati. Afterward the families of the Kana`anim were spread abroad.
19
The border of the Kana`anim was from Tzidon, as you go toward Gerar, to `Aza; as you go toward Sedom, `Amorah, Admah, and Tzevoyim, to Lasha.
