Genesis 10:6-12
New International Version
The Hamites(A)
6 The sons of Ham:
Cush,(B) Egypt, Put(C) and Canaan.(D)
7 The sons of Cush:
Seba,(E) Havilah,(F) Sabtah, Raamah(G) and Sabteka.
The sons of Raamah:
8 Cush was the father[a] of Nimrod,(J) who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He was a mighty(K) hunter(L) before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon,(M) Uruk,(N) Akkad and Kalneh,(O) in[b] Shinar.[c](P) 11 From that land he went to Assyria,(Q) where he built Nineveh,(R) Rehoboth Ir,[d] Calah 12 and Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.
