Genesis 10:6-13

6the sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim [from whom descended the Egyptians], Put, and Canaan;

7the sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah; Sheba and Dedan.

8Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.

9He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.”

10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar [in Babylonia].

11From that land Nimrod went to Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-Ir, and Calah,

12and [Nimrod built] Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah; all these [combined to form] the great city [Nineveh].

13Mizraim [the ancestor of the Egyptians] became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim
