And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.
9 He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.
He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord.

19 Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.
And the boundaries of the Chananites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerara and Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, as far as Dasa.
