Genesis 10:8-10

New Life Version

⁸ Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first on earth to become a powerful man. ⁹ He was a powerful animal-killer in the eyes of the Lord. So it is said, “Like Nimrod, a powerful animal-killer in the eyes of the Lord.” ¹⁰ The beginning of his nation was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
