Ham
Përshkrim
Një vend në lindje të Jordanit i përmendur midis Ashteroth-karnaim dhe Shaveh-kiriathaim, ku Kedorlaomeri goditi Zu-zimët [Zan 14:5 ]. Asnjë emër që i ngjan këtij nuk është gjetur. Septuaginta lexon bahem "me ta," në vend të beham, "në Ham." Disa kanë menduar se "Ham" mund të jetë një korruptim nga "Amon"; ose që mund të jetë emri i lashtë i Rabbath-amon vetë.

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 10:1etc.) 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.
