Gênesis 10

MacArthur on Nimrod - This powerful leader was evidently the force behind the building of Babel (see Ge 11:1-4). (BORROW The MacArthur Study Bible) Ray Stedman on mighty hunter - Now it was the work of kings in those ancient days to be hunters. This was a time when civilization was sparse and wild animals were a constant threat to the peoples. Kings, having nothing much else to do, organized hunting parties and acted as the protectors of their people by killing wild animals.
