Kam
Beskrivelse
Et sted øst for Jordan nevnt mellom Ashteroth-karnaim og Shaveh-kiriathaim, hvor Kedorlaomer slo Zu-zim [1Mos 14:5 ]. Ingen navn som ligner dette har blitt funnet. Septuaginta leser bahem "med dem," i stedet for beham, "i Ham." Noen har tenkt at "Ham" kan være en forvanskning av "Ammon"; eller at det kan være det gamle navnet på Rabbath-ammon selv.

Ham
warm, hot, and hence the south; also an Egyptian word meaning "black", the youngest son of Noah [1Mos 5:32 ; comp. 1Mos 9:22 ; 1Mos 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 [1Mos 10:1 etc.] is the foundation of the earliest monarchy in Babylonia by Nimrod the grandson of Ham [1Mos 10:6 ; 1Mos 10:8 ; 1Mos 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.
