Noah’s Children
 | Ham’s Sin, Shem and His Descendants
5 Comments Posted
I like what i have read so far. But just one question or ratrher comment: Is there a reason why Ham's sons name was not mentioned. I believe it would important to have mention his name; being that the scripture says when Noah awoke he said Cursed be Canaan- and isn't the same land where God told his people not to take wifes from? I just felt that this was a very important detail. Because is this not the Land of father Abraham faith was tested?

Is Eber mentioned anyone else? like the Midrash or the Talmud and so forth? Is there a more In depth story than the one In the Bible anyo where else?

There is indeed a fair amount of rabbinic mention of Eber. He is often seen as a partner of his ancestor Shem. Together they served as teachers and guides. They are bearers of the monotheistic tradition along with Noah and Abraham.

Hi Rabbi Gd bless you, very informitive website.Gd bless the jewish people and those who call upon him out of sincerty and truth.
I am an Evengelical Christian that love the jewish people.
Just want to make a correction concerning the "cursed of Ham". The Bible said cursed be Canaan" the cursed was upon Canaan not on Ham and all his descendants )(Canaan descendants-Amelikites, gergashites,Philistines etc.. these descendants were the same people that Joshua and Kaleb suppose to drove out of the Promised Land entirely (formerly called Canaans Land-Land of milk and honey
God gave it to the children of Yisrael has inheritance.I believe that was the cursed.
These people built great cities etc but because of their wickedness God gave their land to another.

Seriously, why do you think Ham's entire bloodline was cursed. Because he was RUDE. That seems a little extreme. Oh wait, in Hebrew it clearly says Ham sodomized his father while drunk and then proudly showed his brother what he did. Now that seems like a more appropriate reason to curse an entire people. Stop propagating a mistranslation!
