“And Cush the son of Ham, the son of Noah, took a wife in those days in his old age, and she bare a son, and they called his name Nimrod.” (Jasher 7:23)
Staying consistent with the biblical euphemisms, “took a wife” means “become one“. In Cush’s case and in this context, the sexual union included merging giant genes.
Like his brother Canaan, Cush had to back-breed with his mother to guaranteed match ups with the lone giant genes he had received from her. This is within feasible lifespans documented.
Being in the same generation of his cousin Arphaxad, Cush would have lived until he was about 450 years of age, so his “old age” could have been about 350 years after the Flood, at the same time that Noah died.
- 2350 BC – the flood
- 2050 BC – lifespans of generations born during this time had dropped to less than 200 years.
- 2000 BC– Noah dies, Nimrod is born in the same generation as cousin Salah lived ~450 years
- 1500 BC – Nimrod dies during the Hebrews’ sojourn in Egypt.
- 1450 BC – Hebrews Exodus from Egypt
Corresponding as Nimrod’s birthdate does with Noah’s death, it is likely that Cush waited until Noah wasn’t around to curse him as he did Canaan before he engaged in the same depraved act, and given the customs of marrying young women with longest fecund state, Noah’s wife is likely to have outlived Noah, and carrying powerful angel genes also lengthened her vitality.
