Re: Canaan Cursed and not Ham
so we ask ourselves,
What did Ham do?
There are four schools of thought here covering this sin that is so elusive.
1- Just simply looked at his father's nakedness... voyeurism
2- Attacked his father by castration, trying to usurp his authority.
3- Sexually assaulted his father, perversion and incest
4- Sexually assaulted his mother, whereby she became pregnant with a son named Canaan. This position is gaining traction with many theologians because of the wording of the uncovering word and for the fact that twice Ham was named the father of Canaan. Many feel that because of this theory that Noah then cursed Canaan and not the other sons of Ham.
