Gen 10:7The sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.
Gen 10:8Now Cush [fn]was the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
Gen 10:9He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahweh.”
