In Chapter VII we are told that Adam's clothes were taken into the ark by Noah. These were then stolen by Ham and passed down through his family.

Eventually Nimrod ended up in possession of the clothes and when he put them on he became strong.

 Chapter 

 Verse 

Text

VII 24  And the garments of skin which God made for Adam and his wife, when they went out of the garden, were given to Cush.
  25  For after the death of Adam and his wife, the garments were given to Enoch, the son of Jared, and when Enoch was taken up to God, he gave them to Methuselah, his son.
  26  And at the death of Methuselah, Noah took them and brought them to the ark, and they were with him until he went out of the ark.
  27  And in their going out, Ham stole those garments from Noah his father, and he took them and hid them from his brothers.
  28  And when Ham begat his first born Cush, he gave him the garments in secret, and they were with Cush many days.
  29  And Cush also concealed them from his sons and brothers, and when Cush had begotten Nimrod, he gave him those garments through his love for him, and Nimrod grew up, and when he was twenty years old he put on those garments.
  30  And Nimrod became strong when he put on the garments, and God gave him might and strength, and he was a mighty hunter in the earth, yea, he was a mighty hunter in the field, and he hunted the animals and he built altars, and he offered upon them the animals before the Lord.


It is also in Chapter VII where we learn the names of Abram's parents were named Terah (father) and Amthelo. These are given in verses 50 and 51 which read:

 Chapter 

 Verse 

Text

VII 50  And Terah took a wife and her name was Amthelo the daughter of Cornebo; and the wife of Terah conceived and bare him a son in those days.
  51  Terah was seventy years old when he begat him, and Terah called the name of his son that was born to him Abram, because the king had raised him in those days, and dignified him above all his princes that were with him.
