Ham

Ham is the youngest of the three sons of Noah. He was on the ark at the time of the Flood. After the waters went down and the eight people left the ark, Ham found his father naked, drunk and asleep in his tent. Noah was
furious because Ham had seen him naked and placed a curse on Ham and his descendants. They were to serve the descendants of Shem and Japheth. The Bible nations descended from Ham are the Canaanites, Egyptians, Philistines, Hittites, and Amorites. Ham's descendants settled in Canaan, Egypt, and part of Africa.

Ham is mentioned in Genesis 5:32; Genesis 7:7, 13; Genesis 9:18, 22, 24-25; and Genesis 10:1.
