--Genesis-- And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. (10:8) He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. (10:9) And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. (10:10) Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, (10:11) And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great city. (10:12) --Micah-- And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver [us] from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. (5:6) |
