And Cush begat Nimrod:

he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

Genesis 10:8






Nimrod means - let us rebel!

...................................

The Jerusalem Targum says:

He was powerful in hunting and in wickedness before the Lord,

for he was a hunter of the sons of men,

and he said to them,

"Depart from the judgment of the Lord,

and adhere to the judgment of Nimrod!"

Therefore it is said:"As Nimrod the strong one,

strong in hunting, and in wickedness before the Lord."
