And Kush the son of Cham, the son of Noach, took a woman in those days in his old age, and she bore a son, and they called his name Nimrod, saying, At that time the sons of men again began to rebel and transgress against Elohiym, and the child grew up, and his father loved him exceedingly, for he was the son of his old age.
And the garments of skin which Elohiym made for A'dam and his woman, when they went out of the garden, were given to Kush.
For after the death of A'dam and his woman, the garments were given to Chanok, the son of Yered, and when Chanok was taken up to Elohiym, he gave them to Methushelach, his son.
And at the death of Methushelach, Noach took them and brought them to the ark, and they were with him until he went out of the ark.
And in their going out, Cham stole those garments from Noach his father, and he took them and hid them from his brothers.
And when Cham begat his firstborn Kush, he gave him the garments in secret, and they were with Kush many days.
And Kush also concealed them from his sons and brothers, and when Kush had begotten Nimrod, he gave him those garments through his love for him, and Nimrod grew up, and when he was twenty years old he put on those garments.
And Nimrod became strong when he put on the garments, and Elohiym gave him might and strength, and he was a mighty hunter in the earth, yea, he was a mighty hunter in the field, and he hunted the animals and he built altars, and he offered upon them the animals before Yahuah.
And Nimrod strengthened himself, and he rose up from amongst his brethren, and he fought the battles of his brethren against all their enemies round about.
And Yahuah delivered all the enemies of his brethren in his hands, and Elohiym prospered him from time to time in his battles, and he reigned upon earth.
Therefore it became current in those days, when a man ushered forth those that he had trained up for battle, he would say to them, Like Elohiym did to Nimrod, who was a mighty hunter in the earth, and who succeeded in the battles that prevailed against his brethren, that he delivered them from the hands of their enemies, so may Elohiym strengthen us and deliver us this day.
And when Nimrod was forty years old, at that time there was a war between his brethren and the children of Yapheth, so that they were in the power of their enemies.
And Nimrod went forth at that time, and he assembled all the sons of Kush and their families, about four hundred and sixty men, and he hired also from some of his friends and acquaintances about eighty men, and he gave them their hire, and he went with them to battle, and when he was on the road, Nimrod strengthened the hearts of the people that went with him.
And he said to them, Do not fear, neither be alarmed, for all our enemies will be delivered into our hands, and you may do with them as you please.
And all the men that went were about five hundred, and they fought against their enemies, and they destroyed them, and subdued them, and Nimrod placed standing officers over them in their respective places.
And he took some of their children as security, and they were all servants to Nimrod and to his brethren, and Nimrod and all the people that were with him turned homeward.
And when Nimrod had joyfully returned from battle, after having conquered his enemies, all his brethren, together with those who knew him before, assembled to make him king over them, and they placed the regal crown upon his head.
And he set over his subjects and people, princes, judges, and rulers, as is the custom amongst kings.
And he placed Terach the son of Nachor the prince of his host, and he dignified him and elevated him above all his princes.
And while he was reigning according to his heart's desire, after having conquered all his enemies around, he advised with his counselors to build a city for his palace, and they did so.
And they found a large valley opposite to the east, and they built him a large and extensive city, and Nimrod called the name of the city that he built Shin'ar, for Yahuah had vehemently shaken his enemies and destroyed them.
And Nimrod dwelt in Shin'ar, and he reigned securely, and he fought with his enemies and he subdued them, and he prospered in all his battles, and his kingdom became very great.
And all nations and tongues heard of his fame, and they gathered themselves to him, and they bowed down to the earth, and they brought him offerings, and he became their adoniy and king, and they all dwelt with him in the city at Shin`ar, and Nimrod reigned in the earth over all the sons of Noach, and they were all under his power and counsel.
And all the earth was of one tongue and words of union, but Nimrod did not go in the ways of Yahuah, and he was more wicked than all the men that were before him, from the days of the flood until those days.
And he made elohiym of wood and stone, and he bowed down to them, and he rebelled against Yahuah, and taught all his subjects and the people of the earth his wicked ways; and Mardon his son was more wicked than his father.
And everyone that heard of the acts of Mardon the son of Nimrod would say, concerning him, From the wicked goes forth wickedness; therefore it became a proverb in the whole earth, saying, From the wicked goes forth wickedness, and it was current in the words of men from that time to this.
And Terach the son of Nachor, prince of Nimrod's host, was in those days very great in the sight of the king and his subjects, and the king and princes loved him, and they elevated him very high.
And Terach took a woman and her name was Amthelo the daughter of Cornebo; and the woman of Terach conceived and bore him a son in those days.
Terach was seventy years old when he begat him, and Terach called the name of his son that was born to him Avram, because the king had raised him in those days, and dignified him above all his princes that were with him.
