Ham
Penerangan
Sebuah tempat di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan yang disebutkan antara Asytarot-karnaim dan Syaweh-kiryataim, di mana Kedorlaomer mengalahkan orang Zu-zim [Kej 14:5 ]. Tidak ada nama yang mirip dengan ini yang telah ditemukan. Septuaginta menyebutkan bahem "dengan mereka," sebagai ganti beham, "di Ham." Ada yang berpendapat bahwa "Ham" mungkin korupsi dari "Amon"; atau mungkin itu adalah nama kuno dari Raba-amon itu sendiri.

maklumat dari kamus
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.
