VERSE: Gn14-01a

====================== AMRAFEL WAS NIMROD =======================

BACKGROUND
----------
Gn14-01 mentions a King Amrafel of Shinar who fought with Abraham

THE TEXTS
---------
Rashi brings several other places where SHINAR is mentioned

THE RASHI
---------
3 verses mention SHINAR as the seat of Rebellion against God
Hence the 2 people mentioned there are either the same person
or King Descendants of one another. NIMROD and AMRAFEL are
consequently the same

THE LIST
--------
The LIST below presents the verses invovled mentioning SHINAR
=================================================================
VERSES      Person    REIGNED OVER
==========  ========  ===========================================
Gn09-08:10  Nimrod    Reigned over Babel a state of Shinar
Gn14-01:15  Amrafel   Invovled in war against Abraham the beiever
Gn11-01:09  Babel*1   They built a city rebelling against God*1

NOTES
=====
*1 Babel is the name of a PLACE not person. It was brought in
   this list to show that Nimrod who reigned over Babel was
   involved in a war against God (Because Gn11-01:09 describes
   a war against God held in Babel)
