9. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.”
10. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11. From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,
12. and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).

15. Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;
16. the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;
17. the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;
18. the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were dispersed.
19. And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
20. These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.
21. And children were born also to Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder.
