Genesis 10:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ Cush also had a son named Nimrod who became a very powerful man on earth. ⁹ He was a great hunter before the Lord. That is why people compare other men to him and say, “That man is like Nimrod, a great hunter before the Lord.”

¹⁰ Nimrod’s kingdom spread from Babylon to Erech, to Akkad, and then to Calneh in the land of Babylonia.^[a]
