Thanks for the information.

No you are not digressing, you are ON TOPIC.

BTW, when you talk about Nimrod becoming a diety, which Ancient Hebrew texts are you referring to ? That definitely isn’t in the Hebrew Torah.

The King James has the most available study tools that coincide with it, but it is full of small errors borne of the sopherim not understanding the languages well, but Genesis ch 10 speaks of Nimrod as a “mighty hunter” before the Lord. Yeah, he hunted souls of men from the Lord!

Josephus cleans this up very well in Antiquities Jud i. e. 4. 2, and there is a wonderful appendix written on this in Bullinger’s Companion Bible.
The Targum of Jonathan nd the Jerusalem Targum say Nimrod was mighty in rebellion against the Lord, and a hunter of the sons of men. He founded Babylon. The original tyrant.
