Ham
Опис
Mesto istočno od Jordana, pomenuto između Aštarot-karnaima i Šave-kirjataima, gde je Kedorlaomer pobio Zuzime ([Post 14:5 ]). Nije pronađeno ime koje bi odgovaralo ovome. Septuaginta čita bahem "sa njima," umesto beham, "u Hamu." Neki su mislili da "Ham" može biti korupcija od "Amon"; ili da to može biti drevno ime samog 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.
