No rick. Scripture is pretty clear. But just in case you missed the scripture with this post, here it is again. Genesis 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Yes, that's why I gave you the scripture to back up my posting. What does it mean to "uncover your father's nakedness"? Did you read the Leviticus passage? | ||||||

Yes I did. And I understand that you see it meaning the father’s wife's nakedness as well. Understandable. However, this is a different circumstance, different occasion and different happening. What you refer to in Leviticus refers to incest. Nothing of the sort is actually stated or implied by the scripture reference in Genesis. Noah was simply in a drunken state, unawake and unaware of his exposed self. By implying that some sort of incest or sexual act had taken place, you would be hard pressed to reconcile how his other two sons reacted and be purely speculative. Genesis 9:23 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. Noah was simply uncovered in his tent as Genesis 9:21 states. Stand in His grace, WOS |

Check these out: Leviticus 20:11 And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Leviticus 20:20 And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. You see, to uncover one's father's nakedness doesn't mean the father was the one that was naked. |

Okay, last response and then maybe we should move on to bigger and better subjects. Did Ham uncover his father's nakedness, or simply see it? Stand in His grace and welcome to the forum, WOS |
