What is the Sin of Ham? It Might NOT Be What You Think.

Genesis 9:18-29 tells us that Noah and his family get off the boat, and Noah plants a vineyard. Then the story jumps forward to Noah getting drunk off the wine and laying uncovered in his tent. Verse 22 says “And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.”

Noah wakes up and “knew what his youngest son had done to him” and then curses Canaan, not Ham, with the curse of being a servant.

Weird, right?

So, what’s going on here? What was the sin of Ham? And why does Canaan get cursed? And why is the curse to be a servant to his brothers? Well, there are three main views. And they get more interesting as we go.
