What does the Bible tell us?
Lets look in Genesis 9:18 – 27 (KJV)

18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.

20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:

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.

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

Summary

Noah cursed Ham and his generations because he saw his father naked and then told his brothers.

Japheth (Europe)
Japheth (Heb. “God will Enlarge”) was Noah’s third oldest son and part of the family of eight who survived the great flood. Japheth and Shem were both greatly blessed for respecting their father Noah. Noah’s blessing on Japheth was far reaching for all of his descendants being the European (Caucasian) nations that were mentioned in Genesis 10. The Japhethites were known for their intellectual activity.

The Seven Nations of Japheth:

  • Gomer (The Cimmerians) settled north of the Black Sea, but afterwards his descendants probably occupied Germany, France, Spain and the British Isles.
  • Magog (The Scythians) lived north of the Caspian Sea.
  • Madai (The Medes) settled south of the Caspian Sea.
  • Javan (The Ionians or Greeks) Javan is the Hebrew name for Greeks, they settled in Greece.
  • Tubal (The Turks) lived south of the Black Sea.
  • Meshech (The Slavs) lived between the Black and Caspian Seas,
  • Tiras (The Etruscans) located west of the Black Sea.

Shem (Asia)
Shem (Heb. “Name”) was Noah’s oldest son and part of Noah’s family of eight who survived the great flood. Shem and his wife were childless before the flood, but after the flood Shem bore a son at 110 years of age. He was father to five sons who became the fathers of the five Semitic nations as shown below. Shem was actually the father of the nations of the ancient Near East including the Israelites and the Jewish religion, and therefore Judaism, Islam, and Christianity sprang from the line of Shem. The Semites were particularly known for their religious zeal.

The Five Nations of Shem:

  • Elam (The Persians) settled northeast of the Persian Gulf.
  • Asshur (The Assyrians) the Biblical name for Assyria, settled between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers.
  • Arphaxad (The Babylonians) settled in Chaldea.
  • Lud (The Lydians) settled in Asia Minor, but some of them sailed across the Mediterranean and settled in northern Africa.
  • Aram (The Syrians) the Biblical name for Syria, located north and east of Israel.

Ham (Africa)
Ham (Heb. “hot” or “Black”) was Noah’s second oldest son and part of the family of eight who survived the great flood. Ham and his wife bore 4 sons who became the fathers of the nations of Africa. Ham’s fourth son Canaan was prophetically cursed because he gazed at his fathers nakedness while he was drunk. This curse would mean later that Canaan would lose his land to the Hebrews and would be subservient to the descendants of Shem. The Hamites were known for their physical endurance.

The Four Nations of Ham:

  • Cush (The Ethiopians) settled in Ethiopia south of Egypt, also early in their history some of them migrated to an area north of the Persian Gulf (Gen. 10:8-10).
  • Mizraim (The Egyptians) the Bible name for Egypt, settled in northeastern Africa.
  • Phut (The Libyans) sometimes translated Libya, settled in northern Africa.
  • Canaan (The Canaanites) settled above Africa east of the Mediterranean (Later was given to the Hebrews).
