5 From these, the maritime peoples separated into their territories, according to their languages, by clans within their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush was the father of Nimrod, who began to be a mighty one on the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; so it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD.”
