Sons of NOAH

 

Genesis 9:18-19

King James Version

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.

We know who Noah's sons are.

But who were their offspring?

We've traced the lineage of Adam to Noah and his sons.

Now, we trace the sons of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Their offspring are known as "sons born after the flood".

Genesis 10:1

King James Version

10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, 

Shem, Ham, and Japheth: 

and unto them were sons born after the flood.

Sons of JAPHETH:

Genesis 10:2-5

King James Version

2 The sons of Japheth; 

Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, 

and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gomer; 

Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan; 

Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles 

divided in their lands; 

every one after his tongue, after their families, 

in their nations.

Sons of HAM:

Genesis 10:6-20

King James Version

6 And the sons of Ham; 

Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Cush; 

Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah:

and the sons of Raamah; 

Sheba, and Dedan.

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: 

he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: 

wherefore it is said, 

Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, 

and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, 

in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, 

and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: 

the same is a great city.

13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, 

and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, 

(out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,

16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: 

and afterward were the families of the Canaanites 

spread abroad.

19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, 

as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; 

as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, 

and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, 

after their families, after their tongues, 

in their countries, and in their nations.

Sons of SHEM:

Genesis 10:21-31

King James Version

21 Unto Shem also, 

the father of all the children of Eber, 

the brother of Japheth the elder, 

even to him were children born.

22 The children of Shem; 

Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 And the children of Aram; 

Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; 

and Salah begat Eber.

25 And unto Eber were born two sons:

the name of one was Peleg; 

for in his days was the earth divided; 

and his brother's name was Joktan.

26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, 

and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: 

all these were the sons of Joktan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, 

as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, 

after their families, after their tongues, 

in their lands, after their nations.

Now, the very telling verse:

Genesis 10:32

King James Version

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, 

after their generations, in their nations: 

and by these were the nations divided in the earth 

after the flood.

There was a time man had ONE language.

And ONE speech.

People understood each other easily.

Too easily, if anything.

Fueling pride in us.

And that's where our troubles continued.

The next post tells more.

Noah curses CANAAN

 

Genesis 9:18

King James Version

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.

It's a curious thing.

Why Noah cursed Canaan.

When it was Canaan's father, Ham, who transgressed.

This is the incident which happened:

Genesis 9:20-24

King James Version

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.

Ham's transgression must have been extremely serious.

For Noah cursed Canaan, Ham's son:

Genesis 9:25-27

King James Version

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.

That changed the life, lineage, and country of Canaan forever.

To better understand this, we look deeper into what this transgression may have been.

We look to TWO sets of verses for clues:

Genesis 9:22

King James Version

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, 

saw the nakedness of his father, 

and told his two brethren without.

(What does "saw the nakedness of his father" mean?)

Genesis 9:24

King James Version

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, 

and knew what his younger son 

had done unto him.

(What did Ham do to Noah?)

Somehow, we got clues from Wikipedia*, with the telling verse:

Leviticus 20:11

Expanded Bible

11 If a man ·has sexual relations [L lies] 

with his father’s wife, 

·he has shamed 

[L exposing/revealing the nakedness of] his father, 

and both the man and his father’s wife must be put to death. 

They have brought ·it [L blood] on themselves 

[18:8; Deut. 22:30].

Following the thread of verses, we gather:

Leviticus 18:8

King James Version

8 The nakedness of thy father's wife 

shalt thou not uncover: 

it is thy father's nakedness.

Deuteronomy 22:30

King James Version

30 A man shall not take his father's wife, 

nor discover his father's skirt.

That source suggested that Ham may have had relations* with his father's wife, thus, he "saw the nakedness of his father".

Who was Noah's wife?

This is all the Bible mentions:

Genesis 7:5-7

King James Version

5 And Noah did according 

unto all that the Lord commanded him.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old 

when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, 

and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, 

because of the waters of the flood.

It was further suggested that if this illicit union produced a child, then Canaan must have been that child.

Other researchers suggest Ham may have literally looked* upon the nakedness of his father, while Shem and Japheth avoided looking.

To make matters worse, Ham may have gossiped, or mocked, about it with his brothers.

I'm no scholar, merely following the threads SPIRIT leads me to explore.

My aim is to understand why Canaan, and the country named after him, has been cursed throughout, starting with Noah.

In a future post, we shall look into why GOD abhors the nations connected with Canaan.

That will be for a very interesting post.

Just so you know, Noah lived this long:

Genesis 9:28-29

King James Version

28 And Noah lived after the flood 

three hundred and fifty years.

29 And all the days of Noah 

were nine hundred and fifty years: 

and he died.

The next page tells us more about the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth -- the THREE sons of Noah.

The EVERLASTING covenant

 

Genesis 9:12-13

King James Version

12 And God said, 

This is the token of the covenant which I make 

between me and you and every living creature 

that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I do set my bow in the cloud, 

and it shall be for a token of a covenant 

between me and the earth.

After cleansing the earth from all wickedness, GOD makes a covenant with Noah.

The LORD uses a rainbow as "token of the covenant".

With the promise being:

Genesis 9:11

King James Version

11 And I will establish my covenant with you, 

neither shall all flesh be cut off any more 

by the waters of a flood; 

neither shall there any more be a flood 

to destroy the earth.

Genesis 9:14-17

King James Version

14 And it shall come to pass, 

when I bring a cloud over the earth, 

that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15 And I will remember my covenant, 

which is between me and you 

and every living creature of all flesh; 

and the waters shall no more become a flood 

to destroy all flesh.

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; 

and I will look upon it, 

that I may remember the everlasting covenant 

between God and every living creature of all flesh 

that is upon the earth.

17 And God said unto Noah, 

This is the token of the covenant, 

which I have established between me 

and all flesh that is upon the earth.

That's the covenant GOD made.

With "all flesh that is upon the earth".

One would think all went well for the sons of Noah.

Except for one day.

Wherein a curious incident involved Ham and his father.

Canaan, Ham's son, bore the brunt of Noah's curse.

This changed Canaan's lineage forever.

That's for the next post.

The FAITHFUL Noah

 

Genesis 6:8

King James Version

8 But Noah found grace 

in the eyes of the Lord.

During the time of Noah, man's future was about to change.

Man had become wild, willful, and wicked.

That made GOD rightfully angry.

Something had to be done.

Genesis 6:5-7

King James Version

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth, 

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord 

that he had made man on the earth, 

and it grieved him at his heart.

7 And the Lord said, 

I will destroy man 

whom I have created from the face of the earth; 

both man, and beast, 

and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; 

for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Genesis 6:11-12

King James Version

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, 

and the earth was filled with violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth, 

and, behold, it was corrupt; 

for all flesh had corrupted his way 

upon the earth.

But there was one man who was unlike everyone else.

Noah was faithful, just, and perfect.

He walked with the LORD.

Genesis 6:9

King James Version

9 These are the generations of Noah: 

Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, 

and Noah walked with God.

Apart from Noah, the LORD had had enough of man.

Genesis 6:13

King James Version

13 And God said unto Noah, 

The end of all flesh is come before me; 

for the earth is filled with violence through them; 

and, behold, 

I will destroy them with the earth.

Genesis 6:17

King James Version

17 And, behold, 

I, even I, 

do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, 

to destroy all flesh, 

wherein is the breath of life, 

from under heaven; 

and every thing that is in the earth 

shall die.

Only with Noah did GOD establish a covenant.

Genesis 6:18

King James Version

18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; 

and thou shalt come into the ark, 

thou, and thy sons, 

and thy wife, 

and thy sons' wives with thee.

The result of GOD's wrath?

Genesis 7:21-24

King James Version

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, 

both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, 

and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, 

and every man:

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, 

of all that was in the dry land, died.

23 And every living substance was destroyed 

which was upon the face of the ground, 

both man, and cattle,

 and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; 

and they were destroyed from the earth: 

and Noah only remained alive, 

and they that were with him in the ark.

24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth 

an hundred and fifty days.

What happened after the flood?

What did GOD do next?

A covenant was made.

GENERATIONS from ADAM

 

Genesis 5:1

King James Version

5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. 

In the day that God created man, 

in the likeness of God made he him;

Adam was the first man.

The Book of Genesis was clear on that.

After Adam, who were his children with Eve?

How old was he when he had his first child?

Again, Scripture's clear on that.

Such is GOD's book -- clear as His light of day:

Genesis 5:3-5

King James Version

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Genesis 5:6-8

King James Version

6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.

Genesis 5:9-11

King James Version

9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.

Genesis 5:12-14

King James Version

12 And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel:

13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.

Genesis 5:15-17

King James Version

15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:

16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.

Genesis 5:18-20

King James Version

18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:

19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

Genesis 5:21-24

King James Version

21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:

22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

Genesis 5:25-27

King James Version

25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech.

26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:

27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

Genesis 5:28-31

King James Version

28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.

30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

Genesis 5:32

King James Version

32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Able to digest all that?

Notice how Noah is the ninth generation.

In each generation, only ONE son was born.

With Noah, he had THREE sons -- Shem, Ham, and Japeth.

Very interesting, isn't it?

How the Bible's so detailed.

So pure, perfect, and precise.

Because it is of GOD.

Speaking of that which is of GOD, we look to Noah.

Why was he favored?

What did GOD ask him to do?

GENESIS on man

 Job 1:21

King James Version

21 And said, 

Naked came I out of my mother's womb, 

and naked shall I return thither: 

the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; 

blessed be the name of the Lord.

It's time to know GOD's TRUTH.

How GOD created us.

Despite the world's claims.

That we came from apes.

And all such nonsense.

Let GOD's Genesis speak:

Genesis 1:26

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion 

over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, 

and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:28

King James Version

28 And God blessed them, 

and God said unto them, 

Be fruitful, and multiply, 

and replenish the earth, 

and subdue it: 

and have dominion 

over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over every living thing 

that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

Genesis 2:20-22

King James Version

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, 

and to the fowl of the air, 

and to every beast of the field; 

but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep 

to fall upon Adam, and he slept: 

and he took one of his ribs, 

and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, 

which the Lord God had taken from man, 

made he a woman, 

and brought her unto the man.

Genesis 2:23

King James Version

23 And Adam said, 

This is now bone of my bones, 

and flesh of my flesh: 

she shall be called Woman, 

because she was taken out of Man.

Genesis 2:24

King James Version

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, 

and shall cleave unto his wife: 

and they shall be one flesh.

Genesis 5:1

King James Version

5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. 

In the day that God created man, 

in the likeness of God made he him;

Genesis 5:2

King James Version

2 Male and female created he them; 

and blessed them, 

and called their name Adam, 

in the day when they were created.

Was that really so hard to understand?

Was that so hard to accept?

Was that so hard to visualize?

Any child would love such a story.

It's entirely believable.

For it's real.

Only the proud, and hardhearted, refuse to learn.

They think they know better.

GOD always humbles such braggarts.

For myself, I learn fast because GOD made me born again.

After which, He anointed me with His SPIRIT.

That I may get things right.

GOD knew I was going to share my discoveries with you.

As such, I had to be taught by His SPIRIT.

Now that SPIRIT taught me, how can I keep it to myself?

I couldn't wait to share with you my discoveries.

That's why we have 96 blogs already, phew...

Now, after Adam, what happened next?

Did he have children?

Who were they?

Let's have a look at his lineage.

Time to turn to the next post.

Man's WRONG thinking

 

Psalm 24:1

King James Version

24 The earth is the Lord's, 

and the fulness thereof; 

the world, and they that dwell therein.

How man has wronged GOD.

How GOD loves us, no matter how we've wronged Him.

What wrong am I talking about?

The claim that we came from apes.

That we descended from apes.

That our genetic makeup is akin to apes.

But it is to be expected of man, for this world is not of GOD.

John 8:47

King James Version

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: 

ye therefore hear them not, 

because ye are not of God.

Man would rather listen to the world.

Despite warnings from Scripture:

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.

Romans 12:2

King James Version

2 And be not conformed to this world: 

but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

that ye may prove what is that good, 

and acceptable, 

and perfect, will of God.

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

1 Timothy 4:7

King James Version

7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, 

and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

1 John 4:1

King James Version

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, 

but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

The Book of Genesis will correct us all.

And remind us Who the Creator is.

And HOW we were created.

As well as the reason for our creation.

That's for our next post.
