Ĥam

Priskribo

Loko oriente de la Jordano nomita inter Aŝterot-karnaim kaj Ŝaveh-kiriataim, en kiu Kedorlaomer frapis la Cuzim [Gen 14:5 ]. Neniu nomo simila al ĉi tio estis retrovita. La Septuaginto legas bahem "kun ili," anstataŭ beham, "en Ham." Iuj pensis, ke "Ham" povus esti korupto de "Amon"; aŭ ke ĝi eble estas la antikva nomo de Rabat-amon mem.

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.
