Unresolved interpretation: The “he” of Genesis 10:11 who went into Assyria and built the cities

10:8–10 say, “Cush became the father of Nimrod”, and that the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 10:11 goes on, “Out of that land he went into Assyria”.

Both editions go on from 10:8–10 with “he”, so this collection records the building as Nimrod’s part and as his BUILT relations, while the summary says only “he”, as 10:11–12 do. The two verses do not name him, and the judgement is left to human review.

They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
