God’s decision not to destroy the earth by flood again is revealed to Noah in the form of a covenant, a promise which reveals God’s firm intention 8: 21 – 9: 17
Sin, however remains viable and Ham, the father of Canaan, engages in some sort of sexual perversity 9: 21 – 22 and is cursed by Noah. Ham’s immoral actions are projected in the future of one of his sons, Canaan described. Indeed, the Canaanites became known as a sexually and religiously degraded people. Thus, the descendants of Ham will serve the descendants of Shem and Japheth.
