Parshas Noach
וְכ֖וּשׁ יָלַ֣ד אֶת־נִמְרֹ֑ד ה֣וּא הֵחֵ֔ל לִֽהְי֥וֹת גִּבֹּ֖ר – “Cush also begot Nimrod, who was the first man of might on earth.”
הֽוּא־הָיָ֥ה גִבֹּֽר־צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֑ה עַל־כֵּן֙
יֵֽאָמַ֔ר כְּנִמְרֹ֛ד
גִּבּ֥וֹר צַ֖יִד לִפְנֵ֥י יְהֹוָֽה׃
(נח י, פסוקים ח.ט.)
“He was a mighty hunter by the grace of the L-rd; hence the saying, “Like Nimrod a mighty hunter by the grace of the L-rd.”
Question:
Why does the Torah mention about Nimrod three times the word ‘Might’?
