He was a mighty hunter before the LORD ; that is why it is said, " Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD ." The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in Shinar.
Shinar (/ˈʃaɪ.nɑːr/; Hebrew שִׁנְעָרŠinʻar, Septuagint Σεννααρ Sennaar) is a biblical geographical locale of uncertain boundaries in Mesopotamia. The name may be a corruption of Hebrew Shene neharot ("two rivers"), Hebrew Shene arim ("two cities"), or Akkadian Shumeru.
