Cush also had a son named Nimrod, who became known as the first mighty conqueror. He was a mighty despot before YAHWEH. There was a saying, “Like Nimrod, a mighty despot before YAHWEH.” The centers of his kingdom , Babel, Erech, and Akkad, were in the land of Shinar. From there, he went into Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah, and Resen (which is between the great city of Calah and Nineveh).
Egypt was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Casluhites, and Caphtorites (the ancestors of the Philistines).
Canaan was the father of Sidon (his firstborn), the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites, the Arvadites, the Zemarites, and the Hamathites. The families of the Canaanites eventually scattered across the Canaanite territory extending from Sidon toward Gerar to Gaza including Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. These were the descendants of Ham by families, lands, languages, and nations.
