He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord.” - Genesis 10:9
Descendant of Ham, a mighty man, father of a kingdom, builder of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen. (Genesis 10:8-12)
He was the first on earth to be a mighty man. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord, and it is said, "Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before the Lord."
The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. From that land he went into Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen between Nineveh and Calah; that is the great city.
