Genesis 9
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the unclothedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the unclothedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's unclothedness.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Noah very clearly blesses Shem and Japheth but chose to curse Ham's son.

Go and ask your grandfather.

Keep querying an issue that is older than your ancestors

The blessing and curses of Noah were generational. According to the blessing, Shem and Japheth's children were to be greater than Ham's children.

I hope that answers your question?

Someone once said Ham bleeped his father

Nope. Noah does not mention either Shem or Japheth's children, he even specifically says Canaan shall be Shem's servant. Canaan is not Ham so Noah is not cursing Ham's other children either.

When Noah blessed Shem and Japheth, he blessed also their children, their unborn generations. The blessing was generational to this day. Also the curse put on Canaan, Ham's son, was also generational. It affected not only him, but billions of people born after him.

Ham was the one who did the deed so why mention only 1 out of his 4 sons?

Lmao! The ol' man was prolly dealing with a serious hangover at the time.

I am just hearing this interpretation for the first time. So Ham boinks his naked father and instead of cursing Ham he curses Canaan?

That wine must be more devastating than moonshine then.

Why didn't Noah mention Ham's other sons but only Canaan?

Seeing someone's unclothedness is used many times as euphemism for bleeping in the bible

Exactly.

LoL! The bleeping must have reset Noah's brain.

He had Seex with his father's wife... That is what to uncover one's nakednesss

So his son gets cursed for it?

the son was the product...

It's a fictitious story. A fictitious character can be unpredictable sometimes.

So if having sex with Noah's wife was uncovering his unclothedness, Shem and Japhets that took a garment to cover it? What were they doing? Reversing the sex?


Besides, you guys ignore the context. Noah is drunk, lay uncovered in his tent. The youngest Ham saw but didn't cover him rather choose to tell his brothers Shem and Japhets who took action to cover it.

By the way, they are a lot of actions in the Hebrew scriptures that by all social standards today, is sadistic and wicked but we ignore them.

So he cursed a child that was just conceived?

Excellent question.
