And he was a stout hunter before the Lord. Hence came a proverb: Even as Nemrod the stout hunter before the Lord.


And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Arach, and Achad, and Chalanne in the land of Sennaar.


Out of that land came forth Assur, and built Ninive, and the streets of the city, and Chale.
