According to "The New Compact Bible Dictionary," Ham "became the progenitor of the dark races; not the Negroes, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites (Gen. 10:6-20)." "The descendants of the original Ham (Pss. 78:51; 105:23; 106:22). In these passages 'Ham' is used as another name for Egypt as representing Ham's principal descendants" (The New Compact Bible Dictionary, Edited by T. Alton Bryant, 1967, Zondervan). |

Thank you for sharing that information. Personally I've only met a few Ethiopians and they were black skinned. Since the writers of the bible dictionary exclude the Negroes as Ham's descendants, I wonder which of Noah's sons they think the other black people of Africa and Melanasia descended from? It would seem there are only three "biblical" choices. |

"A curse of slavery was placed only on Ham's son, Canaan — whose descendants later occupied Phoenicia and Palestine. They were Caucasians." This article first appeared in the Spring 1991 issue of the Christian Research Journal. (www.equip.org/search/) |

I went to the article, but it doesn't give any more information than exactly what you stated. This brings up some interesting questions though. Unless I'm mistaken the Canaanites/Phoenicians had a Semitic language. I have "read" that the Semitic languages were given to the descendants of Shem at the tower of Babel. I'll have to see what else I can find on this subject. Thanks for the "motivation". :) | ||||||
