 | | The Biblical explanation is that it derives from Canaan, the son of Ham and the grandson of Noah, whose offspring correspond to the names of Canaanite tribes in Gen. | | | Canaan first appears in the Bible as an individual person, in a parenthetical remark at the end of Genesis 9:18 that "Ham is the father of Canaan." | | | Afterward Noah cursed Canaan (but not Ham, for reasons that are not stated) to a life of servitude. |

| | Consequently it cannot be concluded from this that Canaan was the youngest son of Ham. | | | It is as conceivable that in the original prophecy the name of Ham occurred, and that the Israelites, seeing the prophecy fulfilled, especially in the posterity of Canaan might have changed it to that of the son. | | | The curse called down on Canaan is undoubtedly connected with the sin of his father, Ham (verse 22). |
