7. The descendants of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteca. The descendants of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
8. Cush became the father of Nimrod, who was the first to become a mighty warrior on earth.
9. He was a mighty hunter in the eyes of the Lord; hence the saying, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter in the eyes of the Lord.”
10. His kingdom originated in Babylon, Erech and Accad, all of them in the land of Shinar.
11. From that land he went forth to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,
12. as well as Resen, between Nineveh and Calah, the latter being the principal city.
13. Mizraim became the father of the Ludim, the Anamim, the Lehabim, the Naphtuhim,
14. the Pathrusim, the Casluhim, and the Caphtorim from whom the Philistines came.
15. Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and of Heth;
16. also of the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,
17. the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites,
18. the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Afterward, the clans of the Canaanites spread out,
19. so that the Canaanite borders extended from Sidon all the way to Gerar, near Gaza, and all the way to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, near Lasha.
