Genesis 10:8-10
International Standard Version
8 Cush fathered Nimrod, who became the first fearless[a] leader throughout the land. 9 He became a fearless[b] hunter in defiance of[c] the Lord. That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a fearless hunter in defiance of[d] the Lord.” 10 His kingdom began in the region[e] of Shinar[f] with the cities of[g] Babylon, Erech,[h] Akkad, and Calneh.
