Ham
Descriere
Un loc la est de Iordan, numit între Așterot-Carnaim și Șaveh-Chiriataim, unde Chedorlaomer i-a lovit pe Zu-zim [Gn 14:5]. Nu a fost recuperat niciun nume care să semene cu acesta. Septuaginta citește bahem „cu ei”, în loc de beham, „în Ham”. Unii au crezut că „Ham” poate fi o corupere de la „Amon”; sau că poate fi numele antic al Rabbat-Amonului însuși.

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.
