Gen 10:8 Mizraim- EGYPT • Mizraim (Gen 10:6) This is another name for Egypt. PHUT=LIBYA and Somalia. Map of the 7 territories / nations of Canaan. The Holy Land is in Caanan. It wasn't originally in the possession of the ancestors of Shem, progenitor of the Semitic tribes, Arab and Jew. It was Ham's son Caanan who founded the first kingdoms there. Noah cursed Ham, Caanan's father, with this admonition: Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. Gen 9:25 And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Raamah, and 5.Sabtecha. and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan (Queen of Sheba-Ethiopia) Havilah- Land of Gold (Now modern Yemen) Havilah ("stretch of sand") is a Biblical place. First mentioned in Genesis 2:11: Gen 2:11 The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold; Gen 25:18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren. 1Sa 15:7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah [until] thou comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt.
Gen 10:8	And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. The Stele of Naramsin, around 3000 B.C. depicting Sargon I, Nimrod. Nimrod, is pictured with a helmet and horns. Horns symbolize kingdom, and/ or power. A vague tower is depicted. He is climbing up to lofty heights, whether it's to ascend the Mountain of God, or build a tower to the heavens. NIMROD - "rebellion" or "the "valiant!" Semiramis- Statue of liberty, ancient depiction with the sun crown. The prototype goddess. The beginning of the Mystery Religion. The legend is that Nimrod, and his wife, Semiramis, became the first Emperor of his kind. Semiramis and Nimrod become prototypes, and symbols of rebellion, and idolatry with the Tower of Babel, dedicated to the celestial gods, not the Creator. Old Babylon is important because it is when rebellion, and idolatry is practiced, after the flood. Nimrod, who was the son of Cush, grandson of Ham, and the great grandson of Noah, established an empire in the Babylon/Assyria regions.
