Ham Genesis 9:20-28. Noach began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. 21 He drank of the wine, and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Kana`an, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 Shem and Yefet took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness. 24 Noach awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 He said, "Cursed be Kana`an; A servant of servants will he be to his brothers." 26 He said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem; Let Kana`an be his servant. 27 God enlarge Yefet, Let him dwell in the tents of Shem; Let Kana`an be his servant." This story is always one of mystery and intrigue yet affects us to this day in the land of Israel. This event occurs immediately after the great flood. The flood waters of salvation that lifted the ark to safety have now receded. Noach begins tending the land and grows a vineyard with grapes from which he makes wine.
