Nimrod conquered the people of Canaan as a Master of Animals. Thus he became renowned as a mighty hunter before the lord and was called Nimrod. He seized control of [[כנען|Canaan]] raising his "Amorites" over the [[רפאים|Rephaim]] while the Israelites were in [[מצרים|Mitzraim]].
Nimrod was the father of [[שבא|Sheba]] (Pluto) and [[דדן|Dedan]] (Poseidon) as well as the stepfather of Eliazer, progenitor of the [[כפתרים|Caphtorim]].
