8 Cush was also the father of Nimrod, who set himself up as the first tyrant on earth.
And then Cush conceived Nimrod; he began to be powerful on the earth.
9 He was a powerful fighter who defied the Lord; which is why there's the expression, “Like Nimrod, a powerful fighter who defied the Lord.”
And he was an able hunter before the Lord. From this, a proverb came forth: ‘Just like Nimrod, an able hunter before the Lord.’
10 His kingdom began in the cities of Babel, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh, all located in the land of Shinar.
And so, the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Chalanne, in the land of Shinar.

From that land, Assur came forth, and he built Nineveh, and the streets of the city, and Calah,
12 and Resen, which lies between Nineveh and the great city of Calah.

18 the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. Later the Canaanite tribes spread out
and the Arvadian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite. And after this, the peoples of the Canaanites became widespread.
19 and the territory of the Canaanites stretched from Sidon towards Gerar and all the way to Gaza, then towards Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, all the way to Lasha.
And the borders of Canaan went, as one travels, from Sidon to Gerar, even to Gaza, until one enters Sodom and Gomorrah, and from Admah and Zeboiim, even to Lesa.
