]]> Comment on Gen. 9-10: Ham’s Son Bears the Sins of His Father by Mike Daniels http://www.realbiblestories.com/2010/02/gen-9-10-ham-bears-the-sins-of-his-father/#comment-227 Mike Daniels Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:13:32 +0000 http://www.realbiblestories.com/?p=126#comment-227 The text doesn't really suggest sex at all: <blockquote>21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. </blockquote> In fact, it seems pretty clear Noah was laying about naked. Seeing someone naked actually brought shame upon the viewer more than upon the viewee in that time. "Uncovering the nakedness of . . ." is not the same thing. I see no evidence of sexual relations here. The text doesn't really suggest sex at all:

21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

Canaan is the product of this incest therefore he was cursed by Noah."Nakedness of his father" is interpreted as having sex with ones husband or wife.
