6The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
7The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
8Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”
10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
