In the Bible and in legend, Nimrod (Standard Hebrew × Ö´×ְר×Ö¹× Nimrod, Tiberian Hebrew × Ö´×Ö°×¨Ö¹× NimrÅá¸), son of Cush, grandson of Ham, great-grandson of Noah, was a Mesopotamian monarch and "a mighty hunter before JHVH". He is mentioned in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10), in the First Book of Chronicles, and in the Book of Micah. In the Bible he is an obscure figure; in later interpretations, as recorded by Josephus and the rabbis who compiled the midrash, he is the subject of innumerable legends. The most prominent of these was the story that he built the Tower of Babel.

Nemrod is a descendant of Chus (Cush), son of Cham (Ham), son of Noe (Noah).
"A mighty hunter before the Lord" - This last may be taken in the strict sense — hunter of wild beasts, for such we know the Babylonian princes to have been.
He is credited with having instigated the building of the tower of Babel and of being the author of Babylonian idolatry
