Bible Question:
Genesis 9:25 "Then he (Noah) cursed the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham." What was Noah so mad about - because Ham saw him naked? Is that a sin to see a parent undressed? |
Bible Answer: The problem wasn't that Ham just saw him naked. The problem was that Ham didn't do anything about it, he went outside and told his other 2 brothers about it. They then picked up a blanket and walking backwards into the tent, covered Noah. Ham was cursed because he didn't cover his father's shame, instead he went and told his brothers. There were children and other people around that could have walked into the tent and seen Noah like that, he should have covered him and left and not said anything to his brothers. |
