The giant '''Nimrod''' (real name Amraphel) was lord of the [[Titans]] and 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). Nimrod is said to have invaded the middle east where he established his dominion forcing Ashur out of Canaan. Nimrod's Giant invaders (Philistim) are said to cave have come from Kisleh who was a son of Mitzraim. Nimrod's dominion comprised not only [[בבל|Babel (Nun.Ki)]], but also [[ארך|Erech (Ukuk)]], [[אכד|Accad (possibly KishMari)]], and [[כלנה בארץ שנער|Calneh in of Eretz Shinar (thought to be Nippur) ]] all along the Euphrates river boarder of Eastern Cana'an, otherwise which became known as the land of Mar.Tu, the name Nimrod being derived from [[נמרד|En.Mar.Tu]] meaning Lord of Mar.Tu which later became Amar.Utu (Gen. x. 8-10; I Chron. i. 10; Micah v. 5 [A. V. 6]).E. G. H. M. Sel. Beyond NimrodiaMar.Tu, east of 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. *[[נמרד|Abraham warned Nimrod]]**[[בבל|Nun(Amraphel) that his sovereignty was in jeopardy, but he refused to believe the prophet.
