Nimrod was a black man also.

How do you know his race? And when did the races change from the one race of Adam?

But Nimrod does not mean rebel. Nimr is Babylonian for leopard referring to it's spotted coat (it's still used for the Arabian leopard ) and Nimrod was 'a mighty hunter and subduer of leopards' whose priests wore leopard skins as a symbol of office and later spotted fallow deer skins - Hence he is carrying a fallow deer fawn .

Nimrod does mean "to rebel" in Hebrew. The name comes from a Semitic root meaning "to rebel." Nimrod was named by his father prior to leaving the mountains of Ararat for the plains of Shinar to build the Tower of Babel.

Noah had one son, so It's nonsense for you to say Noah's had three son's.

Nimrod Is my kinda person "after all he was the son of Cush and he was becoming to powerful" so out of fear (GOD) did everything to destroy him and yet he continue to rebel against ( GOD), wow that's amazing, well good thing Is that history does repeat , once again the children of (Cush) well rule the world and lets see what ( GOD) gonna do about It.

The Bible says Noah had three sons. What authentic ancient document are you using to say he had only one son?

What a propaganda...

Interesting, I read about an article that states Nimrod is Gilgamesh, In the epic of Gilgamesh, the hero goes for a quest for immortality. Nimrod builds Erech, Gilgamesh is the king of Uruk, Nimrod's father is Cush, Kish is one of Gilgamesh's city.

The epic was also famous because Gilgamesh meets Outnapishtim, the survivor of the flood. He also goes into a forest in Lebanon where man has been banished (Eden?) to fight Huwawa (Yhvh?) the one that brought the flood.

Peace

People can't seem to get it through their thick heads. Ham was the father of the negroid race, therefore is descendants were negroid, that includes Nimrod.

[tricey2300]

So I guess you could say all peoples including sodom and gomorrah the canaanites and also our people the black people came from the cursed son. I think some other people came from him too i'm not sure.

@markmcgee4 Adam was before the flood if u read the bible carefully. Ok noah and his three sons and his son shem is the one who had cush and cush was the father of nimrod. cush is the ancient name for ethopia. and we also know that shem was called canaan and noah cursed canaan because when noah got drunk and got naked, canaan looked at his father's nakedness laughed and went and told his two brothers outside. but his brothers walked in backwards covering their faces.

@dontrililikepackies1 God said to DISPURSE amongst the lands and they did not. They stayed on that platu and built a city. "reaching to the heavens" didnt refer to outerspace if you note they fact they referred to the idea if a flood ever came again the tower would be high enough to save them. That aside, retaining one language they would not dispurse as they were told to so option b is make it so they dont understand eachother and are then forced to dispurse. hope that helps a lil.
