Interesting article. You mentioned that the curse was pronounced on Ham. Yet, 2:25 reads, " he said,Cursed be Canaan;..."
Also mentioned later, "and the taking of the promised land from the descendants of Canaan (another of Cush’s sons)." But 10:6 states, "The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. 7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca.
Would someone please edit or clarify this? Thanks.
Just saw your comment regarding the cursing of Canaan. I recall reading something from T. Desmond Alexander, who observed that the text doesn’t specifically stipulate that Ham necessarily did the “bad thing” but rather observed Noah’s nakedness and informed his brothers. This leaves open the possibility that Ham’s son Canaan did the “bad thing” that merited the curse. In biblical terms the “youngest son” (Gen 9:24) could refer to a son, grandson (in this case Canaan) or even great-grandson. I see this as at least a very possible interpretation.
