Noah left the ark to become a husbandman and became an earthly type. Cain
also was a tiller of the ground (Genesis 4:2). He couldn’t handle this new type of
wine (Mark 2:22) which rendered him exposed in his tent. Ham may have seen
this with contempt. These tents (#168/166) are coverings home, dwellings,
tabernacles. Places that are to shine, and be clear. Shem and Japheth (9:23)
occupied the same tent, which means they both shared the same privileges of
what they conquered and annexed. Genesis 10:2 (sons of Japheth are
Gomer/Magog). Shem/Japheth both had prosperity and dominion, were pious
and treated their father well. There doesn’t seem be to mention of Ham having
a tent to lay his head. Ham was cursed (Genesis 9:22-25) but we see this was to
Canaan to be a servant. Although judgment can extend to the next generation:
God’s grace (Romans 11:5, 6) will extend to those who believe in him.

Noah cursed Ham. Curse is #779, bitterly. Noah detested Ham but cursed his son
Canaan-(#3667/3665). Means: merchant, traffic, to humiliate, humble, subdue,
vanquish. There is no mention of a curse of skin and in Joshua 9:21,23,27; this
same word ‘curse’ is seen on those who have become bondmen, hewers of
wood and drawers of water for the house of my God. This points to God’s
children to be hewers #2404 (polish/carve) of wood (6086/6095)-carpenter,
sticks, gallows, staff, close eyes, shut, fasten, make firm (1 Chronicles
21:23/Habakkuk 2:19/Zechariah 12:6). These talks about the threshing, awake,
and fire that God’s children will expose in the last days. MORE STUDY LATER:
