Genesis 10:9-11

New Century Version

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. ¹¹ From there he went to Assyria, where he built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, and Calah.
