Ham
Deskripsi
Sebuah tempat di sebelah timur Yordan disebutkan antara Asytarot-karnaim dan Syawe-kiryataim, di mana Kedorlaomer memukul orang Zuzim ([Kej 14:5 ]). Tidak ada nama yang mirip dengan ini yang telah ditemukan. Septuaginta membaca bahem "dengan mereka," alih-alih beham, "di Ham." Beberapa orang berpikir bahwa "Ham" mungkin merupakan korupsi dari "Amon"; atau bahwa itu mungkin nama kuno dari Rabat-amon itu sendiri.

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.
