Cush was also the father of Nimrod, who set himself up as the first tyrant on earth.
9 Izy dia mpihaza mahery teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka izany no nanaovan’ ny olona hoe: Tahaka an’ i Nimroda, mpihaza mahery eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
He was a powerful fighter who defied the Lord; which is why there's the expression, “Like Nimrod, a powerful fighter who defied the Lord.”
