Many who read the below verses will come away thinking it was Ham who did the wrong act. But a closer read could point to it being Ham's son Canaan:
Genesis 9:22-26New King James Version (NKJV)
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. 25 Then he said:
"Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants
He shall be to his brethren."
26 And he said:
"Blessed be the Lord,
The God of Shem,
And may Canaan be his servant.
Now the question is was Canaan just 'viewing' his grandfather's nakedness or did he do something else besides that? There are many interpretations of this with none having substantial evidence to be considered factual.
