Ham
Opis
Kraj vzhodno od Jordana, imenovan med Ašterot-karnaim in Šave-kirjatajim, kjer je Kedorlaomer premagal Zuzime [1Mz 14:5 ]. Nobeno ime, ki bi bilo podobno temu, ni bilo obnovljeno. Septuaginta bere bahem "z njimi" namesto beham, "v Hamu." Nekateri so mislili, da bi lahko bil "Ham" izkrivljeno iz "Amon"; ali da bi to lahko bilo starodavno ime samega 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.
