CURSED BE CANAAN / GENESIS 9:24-25

(KJV) Genesis 9:24-25

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.

When Noah learned of Ham’s shameful action, he pronounced a curse on Hon’s son, Canaan (not on Ham himself).

1. Perhaps Canaan was somehow involved in Ham’s sin or had the same character faults as his father. Perhaps, since Ham had brought open shame upon his father, he himself would be humiliated through his son. The curse indicated that Canaan’s descendants would be oppressed by other nations. In contrast, God would bless Shem’s and Japheth’s descendants (Genesis 9:26-27).
2. However, Noah’s prophecy was conditional for everyone involved. Any of Canaan’s descendants who turned to God would also receive blessings (Joshua 6:22-25; Hebrews 11:31). Also, any descendants of Shem and Japheth wo rejected God would experience the curse made on Canaan (Jeremiah 18:7-10).
