Nimrod was a warrior, hunter and descendent of Ham.
In Genesis 10.6-14, Nimrod is mentioned as the son of Cush and a descendant of Ham. The Bible says that Nimrod was the first to be a gibbor, which means “a skilled warrior.” He was “a mighty hunter for the Lord” (Genesis 10.8,9). He also built tremendous cities such as Babylon, Erech, Akkad, Calneh, Nineveh, Rohoboth-Ir, Calah and Resen.
For over 200 years, American Bible Society has remained committed to its mission of making the Bible available to every person in a language and format each can understand and afford, so that all people may experience its life-changing message. We believe the Bible is the ultimate source of truth with the power to transform lives and eternities, and for over two centuries, we have seen it do exactly this as millions have received God’s Word and discovered the powerful hope of Scripture and the promise of new life through Jesus Christ.
