Ham's son who was cursed by Noah — his descendants became the Canaanite nations
open_in_newSon of Ham and grandson of Noah. After Ham saw his father naked and told his brothers, Noah cursed Canaan — 'a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers' (Genesis 9:25). His descendants populated the land that would later bear his name: the Canaanites, Sidonians, Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, and other peoples listed in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10:15-19). The 'land of Canaan' became the Promised Land that God gave to Abraham's descendants.
