The giant '''Nimrod''' was leader lord of the [[Titans]] and stepfather father to Abraham's servant, [[דַּמֶּשֶׂק אֱלִיעֶזֶר|Damméśeq ʾĔlîʿézer]]. His predecessor and father in law was Cush. His name has become proverbial as that of a mighty hunter(צַ֖יִד גִּבּ֥וֹר). In Rabbinical tradition he Nimrod is accredited with the construction of said to have invaded the tower of babel middle east where the so-called "Semitic" languages (including the Akkadian one branch he established his dominion forcing Ashur out of the Afroasiatic languages like ancient Egyptian) were usedCanaan. His "kingdom" Nimrod's Giant invaders (called Kish and therefore somewhat semitic in language according Philistim) are said to Sumerian records) thus cave come from Kisleh who was a son of Mitzraim. Nimrod's dominion comprised not only Babel(Nun.Ki), but also Erech(Ukuk), Accad(possibly Kish), and Calneh, in Eretz Shinar (thought to be Nippur) all along the Arabian peninsula land Euphrates river boarder of SinarEastern Cana'an, otherwise known as the land of Nimrod (Gen. x. 8-10; I Chron. i. 10; Micah v. 5 [A. V. 6]).E. G. H. M. Sel. Much Beyond Nimrodia, east of Nimrodia the Great Euphrates, eventually became the Assyrian Empire. In Rabbinical tradition Nimrod is accredited with the construction of the tower of babel where the so-called "Semitic" (such as Akkadian) branch of the Afroasiatic languages (which include Coptic-Egyptian and the Cushitic languages) were used.

==In Rabbinical Literature==
Nimrod is the prototype of a rebellious people, his name being interpreted as "he who made all the people rebellious against God" (Pes. 94b; comp. Targ. of pseudo-Jonathan and Targ. Yer. to Gen. x. 9). He is identified with Cush and with Amraphel, the name of the latter being interpreted as "he whose words are dark" (; Gen. R. xlii. 5; for other explanations see below). As he was the first hunter he was consequently the first who introduced the eating of meat by man. He was also the first to make war on other peoples (Midr. Agadah to Gen. x. 9). His giants mixed with giant invaders later produced the Rephaite Philistines to produce such as the white Anakim and the their likes.
