Nimrod
Nimrod (נִמְרוֹד) is a proper name referring to an individual introduced in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) as a son of Cush and renowned as a mighty hunter and prominent kingdom-builder. The term designates a specific person whose reputation is associated with early Mesopotamian urban centers and feats of strength or aggression. Later biblical and extra-biblical references use Nimrod symbolically for prototypical power, rebellion, or tyranny, but the primary lexical sense is the name of this ancient figure.

Nimrod
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; personal name; no pronominal suffix or construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular proper name (HNp) designating a specific historical figure. Although its spelling resembles the root מרד (“to rebel”), the etymology is uncertain, so the faithful rendering preserves it as a personal name rather than forcing a verbal meaning. |
