Genesis
Nimrod is described as a mighty man and “a mighty hunter before the LORD” Genesis 10:8–9. Genesis connects him with an early kingdom and lists cities associated with his rule, including Babel and others in the land of Shinar Genesis 10:10–12.
8Cush became the father of Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
9He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."
10The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,
12and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).
