8 Now Chus begot Nemrod: he began to be mighty on the earth.
And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.
9 And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.
He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.
And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,
12 Resen also between Ninive and Chale: this is the great city.
And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.
13 And Mesraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Laabim, Nepthuim,

17 The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite,
And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,
18 And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad.
And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;
19 And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa.
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.
20 These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations.
All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.
