It was a father's shame that his son saw him nude and drunk. Genesis 9 has the full report concerning this. 
Noah Cursed Ham because he also brought his fathers shame, because drunkenness was condemned by God also, to the attention of his brothers with the taking of the covering to obscure his fathers body. Ham's brothers did not otherwise see Noah nude. 
Ham is the father of Canaan. Which today is the Levant. The area of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Israel.

Hi Pchee,

I do know the background of the story - I just didn't feel that there was much elaboration on the small details.

But thanks for your reply :emot-handshake:

I'd like some light shed on this plz.

*so Noah is naked and drunk in his tent after drinking wine.

Son Ham has seen this, told his two brothers who then put a blanket over Noah, all the while with their backs toward Noah, so as to not see their dad naked.

However, Noah must have been aware of all this as later on he curses Ham and blesses the two other sons.

 

*Is Hams curse to do with seeing Noah naked?

 

 

Why such a serious curse?

Lev 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

What Ham did was unspeakable.

Are you suggesting that Ham, lied with Noah's wife .

Why his own wife was to old. 

What was the unspeakable, details are essential, then we can tell if it was an accidental encouder.

I would never have thought that reading about Ham.

I do know that another son in the Bible did that to his father, didn't know Ham did it.

 


Genesis 35v22:
King James Bible
And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

I'm a bit lost  with this reply - what did I say that wasn't Scriptural?

Yes, I believe that is what happened.  

Ham (apparently) walked in on the drunk, uncovered wife of Noah and had relations with her. Hence the curse on the child of that conception Canaan.

By this time there was some diversity of marriage partners, as there was estimates for world population at the time range from a few million to as many as a billion (depending on the source). 

But relatively speaking (pun intended) it was not that long ago to them that the offspring of Adam married their siblings.

AND there was no Law about such relations.

We must bear this in mind looking back to those times.

I am in no way exonerating this idiot, ghoul, and any name you can come up with and not say on a Christian forums board...

I am saying the morals of those people in that age were quite different from our and even those in times since the giving of the Law... that even the Gentiles came to abhor by New Testament times:

1 Corinthians 5:1 (NKJV)
1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles—that a man has his father’s wife!

The Bible pulls no punches.

Unless I am completely wrong (and that is always a possibility)... the Bible indicates historically this is what transpired.

Otherwise one is hard pressed to explain why Noah cursed Canaan for what Ham did.

There is nothing in the scripture that says Noah's wife was drunk, only Noah.  Scripture only says that ham saw his father's nakedness and then told his brothers about it.  Anything else is pure speculation.  But Canaan being cursed instead of ham is something a lot of us, don't fully understand.
