And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

From that land Nimrod went to Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

And Cush fathered Nimrod; he himself began to be mighty on earth.

And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And he hath delivered from Asshur when he doth come into our land, And when he treadeth in our borders.
