Genesis 10:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 10:8

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).

15 Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and ^aHeth;
