6 aThe sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush begot aNimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a mighty ahunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter bbefore the Lord.”
10 aAnd the beginning of his kingdom was bBabel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went to aAssyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,
14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim a(from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
