Kejadian 10:6

10:6 The sons of Ham were Cush, ¹  Mizraim, ²  Put, ³  and Canaan. ⁴ 

Kejadian 10:8-9

10:8 Cush was the father of ⁵  Nimrod; he began to be a valiant warrior on the earth. 10:9 He was a mighty hunter ⁶  before the Lord. ⁷  (That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.”)

[10:6]  ¹ sn The descendants of Cush settled in Nubia (Ethiopia).

[10:6]  ² sn The descendants of Mizraim settled in Upper and Lower Egypt.

[10:6]  ³ sn The descendants of Put settled in Libya.

[10:6]  ⁴ sn The descendants of Canaan lived in the region of Phoenicia (Palestine).

[10:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathered.” Embedded within Cush’s genealogy is an account of Nimrod, a mighty warrior. There have been many attempts to identify him, but none are convincing.

[10:9]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew word for “hunt” is צַיִד (tsayid), which is used on occasion for hunting men (1 Sam 24:12; Jer 16:16; Lam 3:15).

[10:9]  ⁷ tn Another option is to take the divine name here, לִפְנֵי יִהוָה (lifne yÿhvah, “before the Lord [YHWH]”), as a means of expressing the superlative degree. In this case one may translate “Nimrod was the greatest hunter in the world.”
