Genesis 10:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 10:7

5 From these ^athe coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

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).
