Taken from MHC: III. Ham's impudence and impiety: He saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren, v. 22. To see it accidentally and involuntarily would not have been a crime; but, 1. He pleased himself with the sight, as the Edomites looked up on the day of their brother (Obad. 12), pleased, and insulting. Perhaps Ham had sometimes been himself drunk, and reproved for it by his good father, whom he was therefore pleased to see thus overcome. Note, It is common for those who walk in false ways themselves to rejoice at the false steps which they sometimes see others make. But charity rejoices not in iniquity, nor can true penitents that are sorry for their own sins rejoice in the sins of others. 2. He told his two brethren without (in the street, as the word is), in a scornful deriding manner, that his father might seem vile unto them. It is very wrong, (1.) To make a jest of sin (Prov. xiv. 9), and to be puffed up with that for which we should rather mourn, 1 Cor. v. 2. And, (2.) To publish the faults of any, especially of parents, whom it is our duty to honour. Noah was not only a good man, but had been a good father to him; and this was a most base disingenuous requital to him for his tenderness. Ham is here called the father of Canaan, which intimates that he who was himself a father should have been more respectful to him that was his father. |

Quick definition, a commentary is a person (or could be down by a group of people) opinion about a subject. There are numerous commentaries on the market, some good, some not so good. You have large multi-volume sets and shorter one book commentaries. Matthew Henry Commentary was written in early 1700s (I believe 1706). It is freely available online to read and review and that is why I selected it. A commentary, cannot be used to replace the Word of God, but it can help at times to bring some understanding. The Bible is the ultimate authority, the commentary is a personal opinion of the Bible. I'm trying to keep this post short, but having little luck with that. Basically, a well written commentary is a good resource to help further you Bile study, but cannot be used to replace the Bible. I have several commentaries and will refer to them once I have drawn my opinion on a passage to see how it lines up with the Bible scholars. Hope I was able to explain it well enough. Brad |
