Ham
Opis
Mjesto istočno od Jordana, navedeno između Aštarot-karnaima i Šave-kirjatajima, gdje je Kedorlaomer porazio Zuzime [Post 14:5 ]. Nije pronađeno ime koje bi odgovaralo ovom. Septuaginta čita bahem "s njima" umjesto beham, "u Hamu." Neki su mislili da "Ham" može biti iskrivljenje od "Amon"; ili da bi to moglo biti drevno ime samog Rabat-amona.

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.
