Genesis 10:8-12
8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.  Babel: Gr. Babylon
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, went...: or, he went out into Assyria the city...: or, the streets of the city
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
