And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah: wherefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Jehovah.And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and builded Nineveh, and Rehoboth- Ir, and Calah,and Resen between Nineveh and Calah( the same is the great city).
And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our border.
