Genesis 10:8-10

8 Cush also had a descendant named Nimrod, who became a very powerful man on earth.

9 He was a great hunter before the Lord, which is why people say someone is "like Nimrod, a great hunter before the Lord."

10 At first Nimrod's kingdom covered Babylon, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh in the land of Babylonia.
