Biblical figure, Ham
Ham, brother of Shem and Japeth, was born when Noah was five hundred years old (Genesis 5:32 KJV). He is also one of those who survived the great flood since he was in the ark with his father.The Biblical Timeline charts Ham's birth in 2450 BC, when Noah, his father was five hundred years old. The Bible doesn't say the total number of years of Ham's existence.
The name Ham in Hebrew origin means “warm” or “hot”. In Egypt, Ham means “black”. We have also considered the Egyptian meaning of Ham since Egypt is Mizraim in the Bible and Mizraim is Ham's son.
Ham is the father of Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan, whom Noah cursed after Ham did not aid his father when he was drunk and naked (Genesis 9:22 KJV).
Ham, After the flood
After the flood, Noah planted a vineyard and drank from its wine. Noah got drunk and was naked in his tent. Ham witnessed his father nakedness and told his brother about it. Shem and Japheth walked backwards to their father and covered him. Noah woke up from his drunkenness and knew about what happened. Noah cursed Ham's youngest son for Ham did not do anything to aid his father.
