Nimrod was a great-grandson of Noah through Ham, described in Genesis as a mighty hunter before the Lord and the founder of a series of major Mesopotamian cities including Babel, the site of the later tower and scattered languages. His name became proverbial enough that later Old Testament writers refer to Assyria itself as the land of Nimrod.
