Why Did Noah Curse Canaan and Not Ham?

If you have a 1/2 hour you should listen to this whole video explanation by Dr. Michael Heisler where he gives us a great explanation for this strange story about drunk Noah following the flood.

If you don’t want to listen the the whole thing, I’ll cut to the conclusion.

In Genesis 9 we read that Noah got drunk and passed out.  Ham went up into the tent and “saw his father’s nakedness.”  This is a Hebrew idiom that means he had sex with Noah’s wife, which was his mother.  He impregnated her and the baby born 9 months later was a baby boy named Canaan.

Noah cursed him and said that no blessings of God would come to him because he was a baby brought through perversion and a power grab by Ham.

Of course we know that Canaan went on to father the Canaanites and all sorts of other warring (Satanic?Nephilim?) people that were always a thorn in Israel’s side.

The other place where perversion raised up enemies of Israel was the story of Lot.  His daughters got him drunk and had sex with their father and the children born to them were Moab and Ammon.  They became the Moabites and Ammonites who were also problematic to Israel.

Watch the video and you can clearly understand that “uncovering your father’s nakedness” means that you were messing with your father’s wife.

Aha!  The story of Genesis 9 finally makes some sense.
