Gam
Beskrywing
'n Plek oos van die Jordaan genoem tussen Asterot-karnaim en Sawe-kiriataim, waar Kedorlaomer die Su-sim verslaan het [Gen 14:5 ]. Geen naam wat hiermee ooreenstem, is teruggevind nie. Die Septuagint lees bahem "met hulle," in plaas van beham, "in Gam." Sommige het gedink dat "Gam" 'n korrupsie van "Ammon" mag wees; of dat dit die antieke naam van Rabba-ammon self mag wees.

Ham
warm, hot, and hence the south; also an Egyptian word meaning "black", the youngest son of Noah [(Gen 5:32 ); comp. (Gen 9:22 ; 9:24)]. The curse pronounced by Noah against Ham, properly against Canaan his fourth son, was accomplished when the Jews subsequently exterminated the Canaanites.
One of the most important facts recorded in (Gen 10:1 etc.) is the foundation of the earliest monarchy in Babylonia by Nimrod the grandson of Ham (Gen 10:6 ; 10:8; 10:10). The primitive Babylonian empire was thus Hamitic, and of a cognate race with the primitive inhabitants of Arabia and of Ethiopia. (See ACCAD)
The race of Ham were the most energetic of all the descendants of Noah in the early times of the post-diluvian world.
