8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.
And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.’
10 His kingdom began in Babylon, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar.

17 the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
the Hivite, and the Arkite: the Sinite,
18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite clans were scattered,
and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread.
19 and the borders of Canaan extended from Sidon toward Gerar as far as Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa.
