The bible is the inerrant Word of God, on this channel we believe that the Bible is the truth. Although it was written by 40 different human authors, there was one common ghost writer and that is The Holy Spirit which inspired all of them. This channel tries to stay away from theology but instead focuses on a unique Bible Study approach by connecting the bible as a whole book using tools such as typology, parallelisms, and multiple-layered contextualized connections. Yes, God can operate on different levels at the same time, to mean more than one thing at the same time.
I enjoy a deep dive Bible Study, and always will cite scripture to back up the conclusions.

If this is true (and it appears to be), then this should revolutionize theological understanding of what ‘Nimrod’ means and it also has end time application.
Yes, indeed it does. Cush is the first type of the Anti-Christ in Revelation. Check out my video about the Mark of the Beast in Genesis which confirms this take. And also the video on Genesis 10, The Table of Nations, it goes even further on the Tower of Babel and shows the parallels of Cush with the final Anti-Christ.
Cush's Kingdom was the first beast mentioned to come out of the great sea in Daniel 7. The one like a lion.(Cush was a mighty Hunter) The parallels and understanding of Hebrew fits perfectly. Thanks for noticing and watching, God Bless
Your videos have to be watched multiple times each to truly grasp all the components. I follow dozens of similar Christian UA-cam channels and I can honestly say you have caught my attention with your unique perspectives on common biblical themes. Keep up the great work!
@@crisdeugzman3711 I know your heart is in the right place brother. But there is something in the bible which builds to something at the end. Peter says this:
Acts 2:17-18
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
A prophecy of Daniel says this:
Daniel 12:4
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
And John says this in Revelation:
Revelation 10:7
7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
Things are going to become more known at the end, which I believe is starting to happen. Things exactly like this video. So thank you for the comment, as I said I know its coming from a good place in your heart. But I am trying to be lead by God and His Holy Spirit in uncovering things that have been hidden or unknown for sometime. I have more videos to make which will challenge things and common interpretations for thousands of years, which will not be received well. But when you are trying to be lead by God as a vessel for His knowledge, then the reaction of others is not the purpose, the path is the purpose. And I will only put forth a theory when I know that everything connects perfectly by God's will. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 An incredibly profound logic supports your premise. I am astounded and grateful for discovering your rich video. God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord.
I was told they didn’t have the dots in the past … that they were added in the future … do you know?
Merciful God, please guide me in every moment of my existence. Illuminate the path before me with Your divine wisdom, and let Your peace be the melody that resonates in my soul. Amen.
you expect God to read UA-cam comments?
I have been enjoying yor series. You make some Interesting Connections. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing these new views that make me re-think.
Day 4 is when actual stars were created...that scripture in Genesis 1:16 is not talking about when angels were created. Yes, stars can sometimes be referred to as angels, but not always. Look at Job 38:4-7, God is telling Job the "morning stars," which are the same as the "sons of God," rejoiced when He created the earth.
Glad I found your site.
Good stuff, thanks.
What a blessing it was to find your channel!!!! This is amazing stuff, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God bless you!!!!
I like the way you are thinking... and I especially appreciate your going over the Hebrew with us and pointing out what appear to be mis-translations. I had already been playing around with "Shem" and "Name" once I learned they were the same word... and trying to figure out how it would affect the story of Babel... when I stumbled onto THIS video. I was also trying to figure out the division of the Earth thing during the time of Peleg... because it seems to me that would factor in. I had a few similar but different thoughts... so it was very nice to hear yours about all of this.
It's hermeneutics, scripture is inspired truth, for centuries fallible men try to interpret, I'm impressed by this presentation.
This makes so much sense thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching. The video on Genesis 10, The Table of Nations will be coming soon. It will go further on the story of the Tower of Babel. God Bless.
Very amazing work in translation! Thanks
thanks for the amazing teaching, like it
So much to absorb. Thank you!
That's another mind blowing revelation! That's why it's important to look deep into the original Hebrew text. There are so many points in Genesis that we really missed unless looked deeply into them.
Yes, Hebrew is such a beautiful language. And it has so much more to tell us when we study from the original language. God Bless
Well Done. Thanks for Video,
I enjoyed your presentaiton. HaShem /Shem...I never made the connection until you pointed it out. Lot of food for thought here. Thank you.
Very interesting . I appreciate your hard work
Thank you for sharing your work in the Hebrew language. It is a task that requires much perseverance and diligence. May YHWH bless you and keep you in The Name of Yeshua The Messiah.
Side note: Shame on all of you who are posting comments that are argumentative and plainly contentious. If you don't agree with another man's findings--- so be it. No need to be disrespectful but "in all things" be prayerful and humble.❤
Amen!
I totally agree.
Excellent
Thank you!
I have studied Hebrew for so many years. In this video I am able to apply what I have learned from Hebrew and understand more of its meaning. Wow! It gives the Word of God a new perspective. The story of Nimrod now makes more sense because it certainly did not when read in English. Africa plays a powerful role in the Bible...,whether good or bad. The rebellions, the evil and wicked ways, the behaviors against God, etc. are definitely African traits that have been passed on around the world and throughout mankind. However God is truth, mercy, compassion, goodness and love. It is important to put all of your trust in God and not man. Thank you for such a thorough research on this part of the Bible.
I just found your channel and am enjoying your Bible studies.
Thanks a lot we learn many things god bless you and your family and your ministry praise the Lord.
I believe that I have circumstantial proof that the reference to Peleg when the Earth was divided is a reference to the Towel of Babel, and the confusion of languages.
What is the language of ancient Israel called? It wasn’t called Jewish, it was called HEBREW, a reference to Peleg’s father, Eber (who named him). Why would their language be referred to as the language of Eber? Because that was when the languages were confused, so they naturally named their language after their patriarch at the time, Eber.
Yes, you are right. I will be addressing the Eber angle in my next video on Genesis 10, The Table of Nations. Of course, the Tower of Babel will be focused on in that video. The mention and highlighting of the name Eber in Genesis 10 is very significant when everything else gets connected. But you are right, Hebrew was the language that came from Eber and the confusing of the languages. Although much more was going on. Thanks for watching, God Bless you James
Indeed!!! Shalom 🕊️👑
Very interesting analysis of Biblical Hebrew!
Changes words all around, woe to those who despise God's Word!
It dont matter how skilled the men who translated the KJV, subscribing to a deity that relies on the words of man has failed us all. Gods words dont rely on men. Men's words rely on men.
@nickjones1314
I wouldn’t think to much of a god who couldn’t keep man’s filthy hands off of his promises for those who want to believe and know the truth.
Bible preservation or perhaps that’s too difficult for a generation that is pure in their own eyes Pro 30
Providential preservation is the completing half of Divine inspiration.
Everyone has gotten it wrong for 2,000+ years until some guy on YT.
Okie dokie.
Daniel 12:4
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680
That's not talking about the entire Bible.
Your lack of faith in God to protect His Word is disturbing.
@@my1vice That verse in Daniel did not say the scroll of Daniel would be revealed, but that knowledge will increase in the end. Knowledge! That's exactly what it said.
How about Revelation for confirmation of this concept...
Revelation 10:7
7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
The mystery of God would be finished by the second coming of Jesus Christ as God speaks through His servants. How about when the Holy Spirit spoke through Peter?
Acts 2:17-18
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
All these things are adding up to the clear message from God, that He will let knowledge grow in the end and things that were not known will be known. So this being incorrect for 2,000 years means nothing. Wrong is wrong, no matter how long people believe in something. God reigns above all and He can reveal things anyway He wants. He even told you throughout the Bible, this knowledge will increase in the end.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680
Out of Context.
I do believe he has it right. But I also think Cush was not worshipping the stars, but had contact with actual fallen angels, demons, even Satan himself as his god, true AntiChrist. A parallel to our time, and fitting comparison to Jacob’s ladder, where we learn that holy angels are working through Christ to connect us with the Father.
In all this it is important to connect the final blessings for both Assyria and Egypt. Because we live in a fallen world and Jesus loves us all.
You are right, the word marad in our language (Sesotho) is morusu (which means rebellion or revolt or simply unrest) and it appears it was morudzu initially as any language evolves.
Conjectures conjectures and conjectures with interpretation of an explanation of understanding and nothing more. Is what we have here !
Great interpretation of the Hebrew. I opened my New Messianic Version and it says exactly what you have inferred.
Great teaching! Thank you! I believe the Lord wants us to increase our understanding of “Nimrod” and the “Towers of Babel” as it’s relevant more than we realize to what we see happening today. I came here as a part of research after hearing in my dream Towers of Babel and weeks later during sleep again I heard Nimrod twice on separate occasions which left me puzzled because there’s not much in the Bible regarding Nimrod. So I thought. This video has truly helped me gain much more revelation. Thank you!
Yes, Cush/Nimrod and the Tower of Babel is a very important story and relevant to us today. Cush was the first model or type of an Anti-Christ that will persecute God's people and rule the world.(The Table of Nations video goes even further on this subject) This is just like what the final Anti-Christ will do in end times. If you understand the parallels then that will help in the trials to come in our lifetime. Thanks for watching and God Bless you.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful meaningful teaching. Glory to Jesus.
Amen🙏🏽🕊
If I may so bold, I suggest you look at the history of Eridu which archaeologist assert is the first major construction site of civilization located near Ur which is considerd to be the first "city" of civilization. Originally, Eridu was considered to be the first city, but archeaologists discovered that there was no significant permanent habitation. Rather, it appears to be a religious site, several stories high and set on on a hill looking out over a plain and visible from miles away. It was abandoned after several centuries, but its basic worship was extended to all the Mesopotamian cities built throughout the Acient Near East. Just a thought.
I haven't really researched Eridu, but what you described does seem to fit into the bible. Also they talk about a city named Kish being one of the first cities, which also fits into this video about Cush. Thanks for the suggestion, so much stuff out there to research. Right now into Revelation, since I think we are there. God Bless
Nimrod was a mighty hunter against the Lord. He gathered together a rebellion against God, openly.
Thank you for supporting your ideas from the scripture and helping us understand the hebrew. Very grateful
You have such beautiful studies and I am really enjoying them however with the truth you are discovering I would think you would also discover the stationary realm we live in, it is proven in/by the Bible. May the God of creation continue to bless your work and bring us all to his truth.
Wowowoooooooow
Dude, you are blowing my mind, which is a good thing ! What you are doing is hard work and I thank you! Blessings.
The writer doesn’t have to be right, he is just connecting the Bible as he sees it.
I appreciate what you are saying. However Moses did not just think that Babel was there, he would know because even though he wrote it down, the Holy Spirit Who is all knowing TOLD him what to write and the Holy Spirit does not guess, He KNOWS.
Here's my perspective. This story is a story of the empire of Sargon of Akkad, Shem watched this empire rise and fall and encoded it in a symbolic and prophetic story to tell to little Abraham. And Abraham passed the story to his son and it was told through the generations. He encoded the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel and the Nephilim and the flood.
So I believe Shem watched these people come together to appoint a leader for themselves in order to bring about heaven on earth and probably tried to warn them not to disobey God. Because to Shem only God is the rightful king of the earth and only God can bring heaven on earth so clearly Cush is rebelling against God.
And I think in the time of Peleg was when the empire collapsed. And the story is a prophetic story, because it describes every time through history when human beings come together in one word and one voice to appoint a leader over themselves (appoint a Shem) and this leader is going to bring heaven on Earth this is Nimrod and Babel. Whether it's Babylon, Greece under Alexander or Rome under the Caesars, Soviet Russia or communist China, Natzi Germany or even today with the U.N. and the WEF. It's all Nimrod and the Tower of Babel, all of them, plus they fit the pattern to the letter. A group of people of one word and one voice who want to appoint a Shem over themselves coming together to bring, utopia or world peace or whatever.
Shem saw the rise and fall of the akkadian empire he made this story and told it to Abraham before he died so that they would know not to follow in the footsteps of Cush.
Remember the man who sought to tear down his barns and build new one to take his ease. He was planning to "build back better" and Jesus said he was a fool and that his life would be required of him "this night".
Night is the most common metaphor for tribulation, and he was planning to "build back better".
Who plans to build back better today?
He forgot this part “And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be mighty upon the earth. and Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came the Philistines,) and Caphtorim.”
1 Chronicles 1:9-10, 12 KJV
.KJV
I feel so blessed to have found this channel, and I will share it with others.
Very well calculated, however, the revelation of the Scriptures are being changed based on your theory!
Hi Randy et al, I am so happy with you work, translation, and the way you have looked at the hebrew translation. I have been looking at this particular topic for about 2 weeks now, and your work seems to have hit the spot. Keep up the good work and may the Holy Spirit continue to guide your fascinating translation of hebrew to modern english. Thank you. Kind regards, Lai
Thank you for the encouragement. God Bless you.
Thank you for the excellent Bible study. I get these ideas along the way, my ideas only, from my research: Nimrod/Cush may have provided his people AS food, which is why he hunted and captured them. There are so many Hebrew words that relate to being captured, whether by slave traders or cannibals, or both. So if the word Moor comes from Nimrod, makes sense why Morocco is famous for its ancient slave market, which still exists as a ( not so open) slave market judging from recent reports. It certainly lasted until the 1800’s, mainly selling Christian whites by the way; people captured from European trading ships, not from the depths of Africa.
The eating of humans by other humans resulted in prion diseases such alter the genetics of future generations. The book of Jasher mentions human-animal hybrids also, which must surely have angered God.
Also, when I study google earth underwater features, I get the idea that everything underwater today was once above water and vice versa. I see signs of erosion and what might have been waterfalls.
Judah being described as a hunter, and the theft of the name Semitic by non Semitic people today (“let us make a Shem for ourselves” is a topic best not approached on this platform.
Pangaea was weakened by the flood but, not separated until massive earthquakes occured with the strike on Babel. The continents moved significantly after the destruction of Babel by a meteor strike. The shockwave which caused the tower to fall, was caused by a mountain striking the Earth. This separated all the people in Peleg's Day.
How does a mountain strike the earth?
Where is that in the Bible?
Yes if you think that the majority of Bible teachers are teaching correctly you would be very mislead. This Man shows how scripture proves scripture. ❤ I teach New testament in the same way. For instance Jesus did not command a 3 name pagan chant while people get baptized in water. He did not command water baptizing for the church period. 1 cor 1. John baptized old covenant Believers for repentance and what were they repenting of? Following false money-grubbing teachers. John did not baptized them to follow Jesus (acts 17-19). He baptized them to get ready for salvation. Acts 2:38 shows three baptisms. None of them physical. Spiritual immersion into repentance/learning of Jesus and being baptized into his body by faith and receiving the baptism of the holy Spirit to lead you in your new life. Not following the educated guesses of man is today. They say that God is alive and on the throne and they tell you to come to them to learn about him which is ridiculous because scripture teaches you need no man to teach you. A true teacher won't show you what God showed him and tell you to go to God directly yourself. I don't think scripture is teach you about the Earth (physical planet) being divided but the world (populous )being divided. Those teachers good I just wish he'd stop using the word bible which isn't scriptural. No apostle or prophet ever used it.
King Amraphel (Nimrod) was killed by Esau on a side note...which is probably why when he returned from the field after killing the King of the world, exhausted and famished, he probably figured he was a dead man and most likely why he was quick to give up his blessing and birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red lentil stew.
I’m open to new ideas and definitely believe the Bible can explain itself, but I think you have to be suspicious of ideas that need the recent Bible translations to be so “wrong” in order for the new ideas to work.
one other thing while I am thinking of it... would the name of cush changed the name to nimrod/tamuz be after he changed himself into a giant? as depicted on reliefs as holding a mature lion under his arm?? your comment about nimrod was the hunter that provided food for his people reminds me of the way that mongols hunt... they make a huge circle among them, then chase everything to the center.. once the circle is tight, they slaughter everything inside the circle....
You should do a video on Ishtar
Jacob's name was changed to ISRAEL
Most ppl who study the Bible know Nimrod was a nickname and not his real name.
Well, I never thought I would find someone who would tackle this subject. I agreed to almost everything you said, except who Nimrod was (is). Though I would need to check your Hebrew translations for accuracy, so far I concur 99% of your presentation. There is still something you missed, but I will leave you to find that out. You are sooooooo very close.
So according to this nimrod was cush
Yes, Nimrod is Cush, the son of Ham.
I appreciate your work a lot as I have been mulling over his identity for awhile in my research. There are a lot of important things the Cush identification affects. For example, in Babylon the deification of Nimrod was likely tied to sun worship via the ziggurats although bit is not clear, because it is evident the pyramids of Egypt and mound builder cultural influence led to the later pyramids internationally. Part of the question for me in the past was the Egyptian motivation to copy Babel. Mizraim founded Egypt, but that may have been after Babel in the Ubaid Expansion, and it would make more sense if Cush/Nimrod was his brother, and he wanted to assume a similar identity in claiming to be a son of Ra or something along those lines, which established that claim pattern for later pharoahs. While Cush is associated with Ethiopia, if no one migrated there until after the Babel incident, then Cush himself may never have gone there. Perhaps it only refers to his descendants going there, and the descendants of Asshur remaining in the north. It's hard to get a good sense of the timing and flow of each group, but it is clear in my opinion by the pyramids in China and South America, that those migrations do not predate Babel. Nimrod is believed to have also been deified as Ningirsu or Ninurta and much of the Hercules legends seem to be based on the mythologies around Ninurta, who is probably Gilgamesh also as many believe. The Orion constellation is also ultimately Cush as he predates later mythology. Japheth is Ju-piter/Zeus(or Ja-pater(father)), Ham is Cham/Chronus, Noah is Oannes/Ouranos/Uranus, and Shem is believed to be Titan. The story of Chronus castrating Uranus is a mythologized version of the Ham and Noah incident. However, both had to do with domination of what in reality was rulership of the post-flood world. It is clear all Greek and Mesopotamian mythology ultimately ties back to Genesis, and even Golbekli Tepe and similar places in Turkey seem to be the product of the descendants of Noah working their way to Shinar. The glorified or deified animals at the Tepe sites seem to also tie back to Cain and Abel. This idea that survival or reliance on meat led to deified animals and sacrifices is sad but true. Euhemerist type theories indicated these things thousands of years ago, but the Greeks at that time were not studying the old testament. I'm not sure if you are aware of the Book of Og and of Lamech of Cain, translated by father Martin, but I believe they are accurate. While there is much debate on the subject, I personally think the Nephilim spirits invoked during sexual rituals is what led to the post-flood giants. The Book of Og claims Nimrod was doing sacrifices and cannibalism. Just as Mozes was not writing contemporaneously with Genesis patriarchs, those books probably were written millennia later, but there are many little plot holes they seem to fill. I am interested in hearing your take on those subjects and the Nephilim identity and return in general.
I will doing a video in the Nephilim next year. Lots more research to do. It's a big subject and very controversial, so I need to cover my bases. I have a theory on post-flood Nephilim, but have to exhaust the study of Hebrew names from the flood until time of Joshua. There's much there to dig into, but it will probably be labeled as theory. In 2024 the video should hit. I have lots more to do just in this year in reference to Revelation.
You've done some good research on constellations above. Don't know if I can buy all of it, but some of it makes good sense with the connections. I'll check out that Book of Og, I'm skeptical about cannibalism(sacrifices yes), but don't mind giving theories a chance. Thanks and God Bless
Whether right, or wrong (not certain it makes a massive difference) you're getting folks to study the Bible, so +++. And you're having fun. What more could ya want?
Thanks for the study. Found it very insightful. In the other parts of Genesis 10, how would you distinguish between 'fathered' vs 'brought forth'? I assume context, but wouldn't its usage as fathered in reference to children throughout the chapter make the context for Cush also a child instead of a verb?
I actually do lean on context for interpretation. Hebrew is very nimble and words can mean different things based on the context. I like to use a whole basket approach to interpretation, not just a standard exegesis. Not discounting exegesis, but one of the tools in the basket.
There are 9 uses of the Hebrew word "yalad" in Genesis 10. We could go through granularly through each use to see how some mean the father of people, but others mean fathered a particular child. But even if all the other 8 uses all mean the same thing, the context of verse 8 should dictate the proper interpretation. You could even say it like this, Cush fathered rebellion. And that would still yield what you are addressing.
The most compelling and convincing evidence is that Nimrod is not mentioned as a son of Cush in verse 7, right before verse 8. That was my big clue that something wasn't right when I began to study this.
You bring up a good point, but context dictates translation and realizing that Hebrew can be nimble when translating. If you check out other words in Hebrew, many times words can have multiple meanings based on context. Thanks for your thought.
I find this fascinating and it goes with my perceptions. Many Blessings. And thank you for sharing. ❤🙏⚔️
As to the eastward movement, in the exile, particularly of Judah, the captives ended up moving generally east. This idea also seems to apply to God as well, for when the Shekinah glory departed, the movement was to the east.
W Bible Study. This is awesome. Loving the Hebrew. I’m wondering if the Greek of the Old Testament have some of the same miss-translations or correct translations
I have not studied Greek at all, except to look up things online. I don't know if there are any big ones such as this. Good question.
I love what you are doing and find it fascinating and accurate. My only questions/concerns are that you repeatedly analyze vowels in Hebrew. Since vowels were not used in ancient Hebrew, and since they are a modern construct to make Hebrew more readable, how do you justify your analysis of a word like Nimrod and Limrod by analyzing the vowels?
That's a great point. The Masorites added the vowel system around 10th century AD I believe.
But that doesn't mean the structures and pronunciations of the words weren't already in place. The Jewish culture has a long oral history of telling these stories through the generations and I would think the Masorites would only apply a vowel marking system to what was already in place verbally.
Just because there were only consonants, does not mean the vowel sounds between the consonants weren't there. This was their culture, I would think they would be painstakingly careful to get the vowel sounds right and the verb tenses based on context too.
But yes that's a great question. I take people at face value their intentions are good and would try to record a vowel system that was already in oral practice established.
I have a deep conviction every time I read the story of Abram, God tells Abram to leave his father's house, to leave his family. BUT, Abram takes his nephew Lot! And look at all the trouble Lot caused. I'm curious if you see what I see.
That relationship of the Uncle Abram and his nephew Lot is part of a repeated parallel in the bible. It's part of a much larger story. And is something I'll have to do a video on, very keen for you to pick up on that.
Lut iman ettiği için geldi. Bunun nesine şaşıyorsunuz ? Lut sorun olmadı. Sorun çözmeye odaklı yaşadı ?
But Nimrod is referred to as a person in the bible, the book of Jubilee and the Lost Tablets of Enki. It can't just be a verb for rebellion.
It was theorized that somehow Nimrod was used as an alter-ego or alias for the person of Cush. So that fits extra-biblical texts mentioning him and historical understanding of him as a unique person.
I'd like to share another possible translation:
Gen 6:4: men of renown = men of fame.
Gen 11:4: we may make a name for ourselves = we may make ourselves famous.
I forgot to mention in my previous comment, that I don't believe Semiramis was the wife of Nimrod(possibly Cush). The more you research the subject of her separately, you wind up findung out she was Sammuramat who ruled Assyria approximately 800 b.c. Something I realized about a year ago is that we don't really know the name if Nimrod's queen, and Sammuramat came centuries later, only to be conflated with the ancuent queen who was probably the basis fir Astarte/Ashteroth/Ishtar/Inna and later Aphrodite. I believe their legends became intertwined by the ancient greek historians like Siculus, because both predated them and were mythologized queens of Assyria. However, I believe Cush or Nimrid's queen would have predated Semiramis/Sammuramat by at least two millenia.
Randy, have any Hebrew scholars affirmed your re-translation? It’s compelling, just unique in my experience. BTW: loved your Noah-Ham-Canaan video. I too have read a similar explanation before (from none other than Dr. Michael Heiser).
I have had interactions through people with knowledge of Hebrew that have not voiced any concerned that I got the Hebrew wrong. I don't think I would call them Hebrew scholars though. Just like you, its a big task to grasp what I said in this video.
And I know a person that I consider a Hebrew scholar that pointed out to me in my studies what the 'nun' as a prefix meant in Nimrod. But he was only willing to flesh out how to understand the meaning behind the name. He didn't connect it to the verb tense and don't think he'd go out on that limb either.
I have not brought my video before any Rabbi and Jewish scholar to see what they had to say. I locked in my understand of verb tenses through different people. And once I felt comfortable of saying what I said, I published. This video is public and any Hebrew or Jewish scholar is welcome to comment on the Hebrew breakdown. I know its revolutionary and maybe hard to accept. This is OT too, so we can get to an agreement without the big stuff clouding up our interaction.
Maybe since I'm small they haven't heard of me yet. I am interested in a Hebrew scholar's opinion. I think its solid.
Thanks for the comment on Noah and Ham. Yes, Genesis is my favorite Book, by far the most I've read any book. When you read something so much, you can get deeper and deeper with it. And since I'm applying a new methodology of parallels and applying it through the lens of the whole bible, I found the deeper story behind the Tower and the post-flood world. God Bless
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Thank you for the quick response and thank you, too, for your hard work! I hope you get a wider audience and wider publication for your views and analysis. Thought-provoking, challenging.
The language back then wasn't Hebrew either !!!!
So, question here.
I just watched your video on Ham and This one on Nimrod. I agree that your arguments are compelling because they make sense of passages that have bothered me for years.
However, how is it that the translators are getting this stuff wrong? I mean, I'm having a hard time believing that you possess a greater knowledge of the Hebrew than a full team of knowledgeable translators do.
What is going on here that I'm not understanding regarding you vs them?
That's a great question. In no way am I saying that I have this super knowledge greater than the great intellectuals steeped in biblical knowledge that have translated the bible. What I am saying is that fallible people get things wrong, including great scholarly minds like the people that translated the bibles. And even people who know Hebrew much better than I do, I wouldn't even call myself anywhere near a Hebrew expert. But that doesn't mean the experts cannot be wrong and an intermediate person such as myself could not be right about this. I don't even have a degree from any biblical institute or seminary. Just a voracious appetite to read and study the bible. It is my whole life.
There is this concept in the prophecies from the bible. Let me cite some:
Daniel 12:4
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
Time of the end, knowledge will increase. In Peter's sermon at Pentecost:
Acts 2:17-18
17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
God will start to speak through people at the time of the end. And in no way am I suggesting that I alone have this ability. And John in Revelation prophesied this:
Revelation 10:7
7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
The mystery of God will be finished, that means things will be revealed at the end. All these passages point to things being revealed and made more known during the end times, which many Christians believe is happening now.(including myself)
Personally when I came to Christ and started to really read the bible for the first time, the only thing I can say is that it made sense to me. The whole bible made sense. That doesn't mean that I didn't have to do some serious study from the scriptures and even learn what others had to say about the passages.
And I don't want to sound arrogant of my purpose, but this is why I think God chose me to see things others have not. Up until coming to Christ, I had never read the bible nor heard what other Christians scholars had to say about the stories. I was a blank slate, I didn't have any preconceptions of what the scriptures meant by others. I could read the bible myself and look at things with a fresh outlook. And I do not discount a standard exegetical approach to understanding scriptures, but am willing to dissect things using a different set of tools and a new methodology. Yes I'm employing a brand new methodology and the people with entrenched opinions about what the stories mean are going to push back on my conclusions.
I have told people that I am a nobody, just a Christian that believes he sees a larger truth from God's point of view. But I take comfort that Jesus chose a bunch of fishermen nobodies who weren't more knowledgeable about the scriptures than say the scribes and Pharisees in the time of Jesus. But God can choose whomever He wants to choose to reveal things, when Peter acknowledged that Jesus was the son of God, this is what Jesus said:
Matthew 16:17
17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
I don't think I'm smarter than the translators or other Christian scholars, just chosen by God to reveal things. And I believe I know what is about to happen during the tribulation to come. And my purpose is to warn others about what is to come. If you've watched my videos in the last year, I am solely focusing on end times, because I believe it has started. And my purpose is to help people navigate through the tribulation and the deceptions of Satan. I believe this is why God has chosen me. And I am not alone either, others are prophesying some things out there that I think is coming from God too.
I am sure this has been a long-winded reply, but I wanted to be honest with you. I think these things I say are revelations from God. And I have lots more things to say, including many stories that people that think they know what it means have been wrong. There is one story in Genesis that I have to do, that I know will not be received well, because it has been misunderstood from the beginning. But if I think this new revelation is coming from God, then I must speak the truth no matter how it's received. Hope this is a good explanation to your question. God Bless
The Gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ and His sole righteousness will always confuse the language of sinners in rebellion against God.
Who is this comment being directed at
I came across this video, i like history, so basically what this man is saying Nimrod never existed! This is very interesting
That's not what he is saying he's saying CUSH is nimrod because of the root words in Hebrew
GREAT JOB.
I’m 2 minutes in and I need clarity on a flag on the play.
You said
“God tried” to wipe out sin on the earth and start again with a righteous man and his family but we all know that sin came back off of the ark…”
That’s problematic.
It makes God look like He doesn’t know what He’s doing.
And by saying “we all know that…” suggests that we caught God in a situation where He failed to properly accomplish His will.
God has been looking for people the obey His laws and commands since the beginning in the garden. Do you think God always wanted Adam and Eve to sin? Or the people at Babel to rebel against Him? Yes, God is outside of time and knew the end from the beginning, but that doesn't mean God wanted people to disobey along the way to get where we are now.
Why would God choose Abraham after all the happenings at Babel and ultimately test him with sacrificing his son Isaac? He wanted a people to Have faith in Him and obey Him no matter what, even in the face of death. I mean why test him, if he knew the result?
God has been trying to find a loyal people since the beginning. And I have no problem saying that God intended to wipe out sin with the flood, because Noah was a righteous man. And it looks like Noah was a righteous man, but a lousy father.
And just because God knew the result, doesn't mean he gave the people free will at every stage in humanity's disobedience against Him.
Actually God never tested Abraham by telling him to sacrifice Isaac. Your reading the wrong Bible that uses that language. The KJB correctly states that Isaac was an offering...not a sacrifice.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680if God told Abraham to sacrifice his son and Abraham didn't it makes God a liar and Abraham disobedient. But if God told him to OFFER Isaac well then when he told him to stop Abraham obeyed. And it doesn't look like God is changing his mind. OFFER not SACRIFICE.
@@ichooselife1916 You're parsing words without a distinction. In order to make Isaac an offering, Abraham would have to sacrifice him. Contextually there is no difference in what you said and what I said. Abraham was supposed to kill Isaac, sacrifice him to offer him as a burnt offering. Abraham had a knife to slay or sacrifice Isaac. That is clear from the passage.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680God is not trying anything..He knew the end from the beginning
You should also stidy dr. Werner papke: the stars of babylon and genesis. Matthias. Kunzi.
I think there's another possibility to your evil trinity. In the same way the Holy Spirit guides and comforts us, "nimrod" (the spirit of rebellion) may have guided and driven Semiramis, after Cush's death. The "reincarnation" of nimrod (rebellion) in Tammuz could just mean that that spirit was in him as well.
Fascinating stuff! Have you published a bible with these possible alternative translations? If so, I'd like to pick one up.
Also, how do I search for your other videos? It seems if I watch one it disappears so I cannot watch it again.
I was taken aback at first when I read your first sentence, "your evil trinity." But now I see how you are referencing this video, and your point about the spirit.
No, have not published any bible, my only forum right now are these UA-cam videos. When I started the ministry, I was going to write a book, but now don't think there will be time. I believe Revelation is happening. All my attention is on videos to help people along the way.

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry for positing the "Evil Trinity" in a surprising way... I suppose I should have couched it better. You have definitely got my attention with your teachings.
I'm particularly interested in the actions of the Nephillim--there's an absolute dearth of innformation there. Genesis chapter 6 and to a lesser extent chapter 7 were sort of translated hastily it seems to me--as you pointed out with Ham's possibly raping his mother; and Cush actually being Nimrod. I am looking forward to seeing your take on the Nephillim. I'm lead to believe they raped whatever woman they chose, and that lead to the violence that filled the Earth. (What angers any man more than violating his spouse, daughter, mother, sister, etc. than that vile crime?) I haven't studied any of the biblical languages but it is clear you have.
I greatly appreciate your scholarly work, especially digging into the Hebrew to ferret out the connections and more sensible explanations of obscure portions of scripture. Thank you so much and God Bless you and your work!@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680
@@wbshappy1 Thank you, yes I will do a video about the Nephilim probably sometime next year. I know what I want to say, but lots more research to do on it. God Bless

I saw another teacher that said Naamah (daughter of the muderer Lamech) may have been bargained in marriage to a Nephilim in return for sciences and technology of the time. In describing her brothers, there's a list of skills each of her brothers learned. It's a bit on the speculative side, but this teacher seemed to have ancient Jewish teachings that supported his claim. Also, Christians as late as the 1700's were teaching this. It reminded me of Greek myths how one of their gods gave man fire; and that parallels all the great flood myths from around the world. Of course, we know the truth; but this was a revelation to me and I thought I'd share with you. I'm looking forward your presentation. @@connectingthebible-deeperb5680
Dude you are a genius.
Where do you have the Hebrew word definitions? I search and don't see Nimrod means rebellion??? What is your source???
Here is a wonderful source for the meaning behind names, I linked the name Nimrod. Feel free to check out their library of other Biblical names and the meaning behind them.

@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 thanks
A queen of Heaven ? A reincarnation ? Where do you get these understandings from ?
This is actually more consistent with the recorded history. Cush was the originator of the rebellion at Babel, it wasn't until afterwards that Nimrod killed him and usurped his rulership that he became the main rebel.
You've given me a great deal to think through, but I can agree this much right now: Shem would have been the next herald of righteousness after Noah as mentioned in 2 Peter 2:5. His prayers and preaching would be the thwart to Satan's consolidation efforts, hence the demonic imperative for a "Shem" of their own, a counterfeit, possibly to woo Shem's followers back into the Babel fold. It is hilarious how YHWH confounded all of this with the scattering of languages!
If Cush is in babel and they built the tower, is it possible that the clan of shem and jhapet are not joined them in rebellion? (Please I'm confused).
Yes, at least Shem stayed loyal to God.
Genesis 9:26
26 And he said:
“Blessed be the Lord,
The God of Shem,
This is Noah's end of life blessing to his sons and Shem was still following YHWH at this point. We can also include Noah and Eber, whose name becomes the name for God's people...Eber to Hebrew.
So yes, not everyone in Babel was rebelling against God..Japheth?
Genesis 9:27
27 May God enlarge Japheth,
And may he dwell in the tents of Shem;
It looks like Japheth, maybe not rebellious, but had abandoned YHWH at this point. Hope this helps. God Bless
Is Akkadian an early for of akkanaki ?
I believe this set of theories is awsome and mostly spot on. If Nimrod is "the rebellion" (and it makes sense) Semiramis is likely marrying a.k.a. supporting the rebellion. If it was just she was marrying Cush I think it would have been said that way. I wonder if saying that Tammuz is the reincarnation of Nimrod is alike unto saying he is the revival of the first world rebellion?
I ascribe to Dr Walt Brown's FLUID DYNAMICS theory of the Great Flood and part of that theory explains how and why the continents came to be as well as how so many first world structures came to be buried. Seeing as I strongly believe that theory, I fall into category three that says the PEOPLE were divided and you may as well say into nations along with that. Once the language was confused people would have volntarily separated into groups they could understand. Many of these groups would want to find their own lands and the expansion would have begun naturally. I have no doubt since I am not somoeone who believes people back then were too stupid or technologically inferior to move around the world. The only thing REALLY THAT MUCH DIFFERENT between them and us is we do things bigger and faster, not necessarily better.
Believing the ancient peoples of the world were inferior is just arrogant and narcissistic.
So she took on the name of queen when Cush took on the name the Rebellion, so like Abraham and Sarah taking new names, cush and his wife took on new names, but the legend says they remarried?
Interesting, very well done comparing the Tower to post-Tower era.
Does this mean the other places in the Old Testament where Nimrod is used, should also be "rebellion?" Micah 5:6 talks about "the land of Nimrod." Is that affected?
Yes, contextually it fits that Micah is talking about the land of rebellion or Babylon was at the entrance of Assyria. These 3 videos about What happened to Ham and Noah, Identifying Nimrod and then the Table of Nations, should give you important context as to why Micah would reference Nimrod's land of rebellion when the section in Micah is about Assyria.
Because Micah was a prophet when the Northern Kingdom went into Exile by Assyria. And the fact that he referenced Nimrod is huge context. God's people were being taken by a different people. That is why Micah 5:6 references Nimrod(land of rebellion) in a section about Assyria taking the Northern Kingdom. The land of rebellion again continues and God's people are being taken in both instances.
@@connectingthebible-deeperb5680 Wow. THANK YOU!
Thank you for taking the time to study and share what the Bible "God's holy word" revealed to you. God reveals different knowledge to different people at different times and that's the amazing blessing from reading God's holy word. God bless you and your family.
Brazen Nimrod.
Also the Egyption Imhotep is the biblical Joseph ;)
I also believe king Tut, the boy king, was Pharoah's son who died among the rest of the first born in Egypt under Moses and Aaron.
So what's your stance on that ending Trinity connection and Mary as Queen of Heaven?
Because your connection basically makes it sound like if Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons was also anti-trinitarian by making the same conclusion uoi did here
Yeah, that section has generated alot of controversy. There's a whole industry of people talking about Semiramis and her connection to Nimrod. So I decided to label it as legend to question its truth, while putting it in the video as a potential parallel.
Now there is a Semiramis that came later associated with Assyria. But that doesn't mean there could also be another woman who was Cush's wife that was either also named Semiramis or she was misnomered as Semiramis and assumed the same roles that was put forth.
The Queen of Heaven is a real thing and had to have originated somewhere. And obviously referenced in the bible. Most identify her as Astarte from the Canaanite legend. Now either some people just made Astarte up out of nowhere. Or she was a real person that did things to begin the legend, and people began to worship her afterwards.
The same thing with Nimrod, my interpretation is that he was not a person but a verb. And the person who lead the rebellion at the Tower was in fact Cush. But Nimrod was known as a real person too. I've listened to Jewish Rabbis twist the counting of the names in Genesis 10 to come up with 70 original nations, because they have the problem of counting Nimrod as a person. If I am right, how did that legend begin? Someone must've started either calling Cush Nimrod or after his death refer to him as Nimrod.
It is not a stretch to say that Cush had a wife during the Tower of Babel incident. Whether her name was Semiramis or not, I cannot say. But we know something seriously happened at the Tower since God Himself came down to see the city and break up the people from what they were doing. It was that serious of an event. We even know this was so serious that God answered the Tower of Babel with His own inverse answer at Pentecost. I did a video about that called the Tower of Pentecost. So God was very aware of something diabolical happening at the Tower that He directly answered it.
I do think it fits into the parallel that I put into the video. But I cannot say definitively so it sits as theory. I don't get how anything I said questions the Trinity. I am 100 percent a Trinitarian Christian. The theory about Cush's wife has no affect on the Trinity.
How did the septuigrent translate this passage?
-Genesis 10:8-12 Septuagint
8And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth. 9He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord. 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar. 11Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach, 12and Dase between Ninevi and Chalach: this is the great city.
So good.
Not sure if Abraham was told to count the etars in the day. In his time there was no light pollution, so the whole sky could be full of stars. His faith could be in God's promise to make him a nation.
KJV says Asshur went forth so at least it's correct in that translation.
Yes, the KJV had that part right, other translations have it wrong.
The KJV doesn't have it wrong about Asshur. Genesis 10:11 says it was Asshur who built Nineveh, not Nimrod.
That is correct, the KJV is right. But many other translations have it wrong.
So what version of the Bible do you recommend?
The KJV is a great one in translating Hebrew to English. It's not perfect but a really good one. I personally prefer the NKJV, the old english from the KJV just doesn't read well for me in these modern times. God Bless

Perhaps allowing the Book to interpret itself would help.
There is no comparison between the AV and the nkjv.
For it was Cowper that wrote
The Spirit breathes upon the Word
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford a
“sanctifying” light.
Ps. 119: PE 130.
The entrance of thy words
giveth light; it giveth under-
standing unto the simple.
A Glory guilds that sacred page,
More Majestic than the Sun:
IT gives to every age;
IT gives but borrows NONE!
Wouldn't it then follow that semerinas "marrying" nimrod means that she joined the "rebellion?" The legend of nimrod then really only means "the rebels" or the rebellion. That kind of language we still use today. The tacit implication being that you know by context of who you are rebelling against. Tammuz, then could mean that he was the new leader of the rebellion or as it seems making themselves out to be gods like pharohs or Ceasars etc. I guess it would hinge on translations/meanings of marriage and reincarnate.
Nimrod was the son of Cush as it is written. Nimrod (Nemrut/Nemrud/NMRD) is a title meaning to rebel as his true name was blotted from history.
23 And Cush the son of Ham, the son of Noah, took a wife in those days in his old age, and she bare a son, and they called his name Nimrod, saying, At that time the sons of men again began to rebel and transgress against God, and the child grew up, and his father loved him exceedingly, for he was the son of his old age.
24 And the garments of skin which God made for Adam and his wife, when they went out of the garden, were given to Cush.
25 For after the death of Adam and his wife, the garments were given to Enoch, the son of Jared, and when Enoch was taken up to God, he gave them to Methuselah, his son.
26 And at the death of Methuselah, Noah took them and brought them to the ark, and they were with him until he went out of the ark.
27 And in their going out, Ham stole those garments from Noah his father, and he took them and hid them from his brothers.
28 And when Ham begat his first born Cush, he gave him the garments in secret, and they were with Cush many days.
29 And Cush also concealed them from his sons and brothers, and when Cush 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.
30 And Nimrod became strong when he put on the garments, and God 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 the Lord.
31 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.
32 And the Lord delivered all the enemies of his brethren in his hands, and God prospered him from time to time in his battles, and he reigned upon earth.
33 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 God 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 God strengthen us and deliver us this day.
34 And when Nimrod was forty years old, at that time there was a war between his brethren and the children of Japheth, so that they were in the power of their enemies.
35 And Nimrod went forth at that time, and he assembled all the sons of Cush and their families, about four hundred and sixty men, and he hired also from some of his friends and acquaintances about eighty men, and be 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.
36 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.
37 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.
38 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.
39 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.
40 And he set over his subjects and people, princes, judges, and rulers, as is the custom amongst kings.
41 And he placed Terah the son of Nahor the prince of his host, and he dignified him and elevated him above all his princes.
42 And whilst 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.
43 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 Shinar, for the Lord had vehemently shaken his enemies and destroyed them.
44 And Nimrod dwelt in Shinar, 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.
45 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 lord and king, and they all dwelt with him in the city at Shinar, and Nimrod reigned in the earth over all the sons of Noah, and they were all under his power and counsel.
46 And all the earth was of one tongue and words of union, but Nimrod did not go in the ways of the Lord, and he was more wicked than all the men that were before him, from the days of the flood until those days.
47 And he made gods of wood and stone, and he bowed down to them, and he rebelled against the Lord, and taught all his subjects and the people of the earth his wicked ways; and Mardon his son was more wicked than his father.
48 And every one that heard of the acts of Mardon the son of Nimrod would say, concerning him, From the wicked goeth forth wickedness; therefore it became a proverb in the whole earth, saying, From the wicked goeth forth wickedness, and it was current in the words of men from that time to this.
49 And Terah the son of Nahor, 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.
20 And king Nimrod reigned securely, and all the earth was under his control, and all the earth was of one tongue and words of union.
21 And all the princes of Nimrod and his great men took counsel together; Phut, Mitzraim, Cush and Canaan with their families, and they said to each other, Come let us build ourselves a city and in it a strong tower, and its top reaching heaven, and we will make ourselves famed, so that we may reign upon the whole world, in order that the evil of our enemies may cease from us, that we may reign mightily over them, and that we may not become scattered over the earth on account of their wars.
22 And they all went before the king, and they told the king these words, and the king agreed with them in this affair, and he did so.
23 And all the families assembled consisting of about six hundred thousand men, and they went to seek an extensive piece of ground to build the city and the tower, and they sought in the whole earth and they found none like one valley at the east of the land of Shinar, about two days' walk, and they journeyed there and they dwelt there.
24 And they began to make bricks and burn fires to build the city and the tower that they had imagined to complete.
25 And the building of the tower was unto them a transgression and a sin, and they began to build it, and whilst they were building against the Lord God of heaven, they imagined in their hearts to war against him and to ascend into heaven.
37 And they ceased building the city and the tower; therefore he called that place Babel, for there the Lord confounded the Language of the whole earth; behold it was at the east of the land of Shinar.
38 And as to the tower which the sons of men built, the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up one third part thereof, and a fire also descended from heaven and burned another third, and the other third is left to this day, and it is of that part which was aloft, and its circumference is three days' walk.
39 And many of the sons of men died in that tower, a people without number.
Book of Jasher, Chapter 10
32 And Ashur son of Shem and his children and household went forth at that time, a very large body of them, and they went to a distant land that they found, and they met with a very extensive valley in the land that they went to, and they built themselves four cities, and they called them after their own names and occurrences.
33 And these are the names of the cities which the children of Ashur built, Ninevah, Resen, Calach and Rehoboth-Ir; and the children of Ashur dwell there unto this day.
34 And the children of Aram also went and built themselves a city, and they called the name of the city Uz after their eldest brother, and they dwell therein; that is the land of Uz to this day.
Book of Jasher, Chapter 11
1 And Nimrod son of Cush was still in the land of Shinar, and he reigned over it and dwelt there, and he built cities in the land of Shinar.
2 And these are the names of the four cities which he built, and he called their names after the occurrences that happened to them in the building of the tower.
3 And he called the first Babel, saying, Because the Lord there confounded the language of the whole earth; and the name of the second he called Erech, because from there God dispersed them.
4 And the third he called Eched, saying there was a great battle at that place; and the fourth he called Calnah, because his princes and mighty men were consumed there, and they vexed the Lord, they rebelled and transgressed against him.
5 And when Nimrod had built these cities in the land of Shinar, he placed in them the remainder of his people, his princes and his mighty men that were left in his kingdom.
6 And Nimrod dwelt in Babel, and he there renewed his reign over the rest of his subjects, and he reigned securely, and the subjects and princes of Nimrod called his name Amraphel, saying that at the tower his princes and men fell through his means.
I wanted to ask this very question about the book of Jasher.
