What was it that Noah knew his younger son had done unto him besides see his nakedness?
According to Jewish mythology, Noah was wearing the same coat of skins that God gave to Adam to cover his nakedness when he was cast out of the Garden of Eden. So Noah knew that Ham (Noah's younger son) had stolen the coat of skins (which was supposed to represent the birthright and have special powers) and made a copy of it.

Which book of the Bible were Noah's grandsons gay?
None. The story of Noah appears in Genesis, but there's no mention of same-sex sexual activity. This ignorant misconception might be based on the verses that mention that Noah became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father's nakedness. When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, he said, 'Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.'"
What did Ham do in the Bible?
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 servantsHe 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.
Why was Noah upset with his sons?
Noah didn't lash out at his sons, but at the youngest son of Ham, "Canaan.""And he [Noah] said, CURSED BE CANAAN..." (Gen.9:25) [whereby, Ham would have been devastated over his son's wickedness against his father]The majority of studies and commentaries regarding this account speak to the evils of "excesses" and "drunkenness"... and rightly so.This, of course, serves to "keep it clean" enough for the consumption of certain "family values" parents would desire for their children to take away from their "Bible stories" and family-oriented lessons.Yet, the account says: "And Noah awoke from his wine [his drunken stupor, an excess which is definitely frowned upon in God's Word], and knew what his younger son had DONE UNTO HIM." (verse 24)There is no mention that anything had been "done to Noah" up to this point. The delicate wording says that: "...Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father..." (verse 22), and went and told his two brothers about it. But, there is no mention of anything having been "done" to Noah.Yet, Noah "cursed Canaan" [not Ham], who was the youngest son of Ham [Gen.10:6], when he discovered something that, obviously, CANAAN HAD DONE TO HIM.The "younger son" who had "done something" to Noah wasn't Ham, but, Canaan... Ham's youngest son... but who was also "Noah's son."It was "Canaan" with whom Noah was upset.
How did noah younger son of the bible mistreat him?
In Genesis ch 9, it is recorded that Noah got spectacularly drunk and ended up lying naked in his tent. Ham saw this and told his brothers; they went to the trouble of getting a sheet, walking backwards into the tent and covering their father.Upon learning of this, Noah cursed Ham to be the servant of his two brothers.Answer:The biblical evidence leads to the understanding that either Ham or his son, Canaan, sodomized Noah while he lay unconscious and drunk.The wording in the KJV says: "...Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father..." (Gen.9:22).In verse 24; Noah awakes from his drunken stupor: "...and knew what his younger son HAD DONE unto him."It's evident that "seeing something" isn't "doing" anything to anyone.To assess this further... a close wording of "seeing the nakedness" of one's relatives is found in the "Levitical laws" [Lev.18]. While most people assume that these laws didn't come into existence until Moses wrote them down centuries later... this passage in Genesis 9 proves otherwise.Just as Noah knew what "clean" and "unclean" animals were, that he took on the ark with him [Gen.7]... we can read of what animals these were by what Moses wrote down centuries later for our edification, today, in these last days [Acts 7:38].In Leviticus 18, we read: "None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to UNCOVER their nakedness: I AM the Lord..." (Lev.18:6).While this seems to be NOT such a great sin to our somewhat calloused psyches in these end times... this is how the NIVtranslates this passage:"No one is to approach any close relative TO HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS. I AM the LORD."The biblical evidence, then, points to either Ham... or his son, Canaan, sodomizing, respectively, either his father... or his grandfather.The fact that Noah cursed "Canaan" rather than Ham could either mean that Noah was cursing Ham's children for what he, Ham himself, had done... or Canaan, the son of Ham, for his own sin.Either way... it's evident that what would later become known as a "Levitical law"... was known to Noah and his sons from across the flood. And it becomes clear that "seeing the nakedness of his father" wasn't what was "done" to Noah... but "sexual relations" had been committed, more than likely by Ham's son, Canaan.The NIV doesn't translate Genesis 9:22 as "having sexual relations" as it does in Leviticus 18. It says that Ham "SAW his father's nakedness"... not that he "uncovered" his father's nakedness [as Lev.18 words it], or did any actual "uncovering."This lends to the probability that Ham's son, Canaan was the culprit... and Ham was devastated and utterly shamed by it when he discovered [SAW] it, later. And in that shame, informed his brothers of the vile thing that happened.This would explain why Noah cursed "Canaan," specifically... and not Ham.In any event... it's evident that the "mistreatment" of Noah by his younger son... probably Canaan... was "illicit sexual relations."
Did Miley dye Noah Cyrus' hair?
No, Miey did not dye Noah's hair. There has been no reports, or even rumors by paparazzi that Miley Cyrus has done this. Besides, Noah's hair is natural. Plus, Noah is only about 10 or 11 at the current moment- she wouldn't get her hair dyed at that age if her parents are normal.
What is the curse of Ham?
Ham, son of Noah, was cursed for doing something he should not have done (seeing his father Noah drunk and naked). Answer B: The Bible does not say that Ham was cursed. It says his son Canaan was cursed.
Which book of the Bible has Noah's grandson committing homosexuality?
It is found in Genesis 9:20-25 and is confusing for many. Just whom did Noah curse - Ham, or Ham's youngest son Canaan (Noah's grandson)? Consider the following from a Hebrew scholar Tayler Lewis:"The Hebrew rendered 'his younger son,' cannot refer to Ham, who was older than Japheth, but means the least or youngest of the family, and hence is descriptive of Canaan. The words, 'had done unto him' means something very shameful had been done to the old man in his unconscious state, and of such a nature that it becomes manifest to him immediately on his recovery..."Thus regarded, everything seems to point to some wanton act done by the very one who is immediately named in the severe malediction that follows: 'Cursed be Canaan.' He was the youngest son of Ham, as he was also the youngest son of Noah, according to the well-established Semitic peculiarity by which all the descendants are alike called sons" (Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Genesis, p. 338).Jewish answer:No book of the Bible has Noah's grandson committing a homosexual act. At least not explicitly. All that is stated is "And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside...And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him."The reason why Noah didn't curse Ham is because God Himself had blessed Noah and his three sons (Gen. ch.9). And the reason why Ham is called the youngest is because it is meant (here) to mean "the least worthy" (Rashi commentary).Canaaan deserved to be cursed because it was he who told Ham of Noah's nakedness (midrash Gen. Rabbah 36:7).Though the verses don't say it outright, the sages of the Talmud do indeed state the tradition that Ham raped Noah. Another opinion is that he castrated him (Talmud, Sanhedrin 70a).
What does Genesis chapter 9 verse 22 mean?
Genesis 9:22: "And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without."Whenever the Bible talks about a man 'knowing' or 'seeing the nakedness' of another man or woman, it is a euphemism for sex, in this case, the most despised act by Ham of raping his own father and then boasting to his brothers about it. This is confirmed when Noah awoke:Genesis 9:24:"And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."This passage had such obvious political implications that we do not need to believe that it really happened. Noah cursed, not Ham but Ham's son Canaan, and said that Canaan would forever be the servant to his brethren. When this story was written down, the Canaanites, biblical descendants of the legendary Canaan, were the despised competitors of the Israelites. To say that the Canaanites were ordained to forever be the slaves of the Israelites, descendants of Shem, must have been very satisfying.
Is nudism moral or not?
Nudism basically means being naked and seeing it as normal. For a nudism, nakedness is normal. For a person who sees nakedness as something perverted then it is bad. It is not a sin to be naked and find it totally natural and not using it as a form of perversion.
How do you get a boy to split up with his girlfriend?
It's really not your place. Besides, if you can do it then it can be done to you.
Why did Noah punish Canaan instead of Ham?
A:The Hebrews of the first millenium BCE despised their neighbours, the Canaanites, whom they regarded as descended from the legendary Canaan. In the passage that follows Genesis 9:18, we see Ham, "the father of Canaan", homosexually rape his own father, Noah, while he is asleep in a drunken stupour. Whenever the Bible talks about a man 'knowing' or 'seeing the nakedness' of another man or woman, it is a euphemism for sex, in this case, the most despised act by Ham of raping his own father and then boasting to his brothers about it: (Genesis 9:22) "And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without." When Noah realises what has happened, he curses not Ham but Ham's future son Canaan, saying that he (his descendants) will forever be slaves for his brethren. The curse can be seen as part of a passage that seeks to justify future hatred of the Canaanites: (Genesis 9:24) "And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."This passage had such obvious political implications that we do not need to believe that it really happened. Noah cursed, not Ham, but Ham's son Canaan, and said that Canaan would forever be the servant to his brethren. When this story was written down, the Canaanites, biblical descendants of the legendary Canaan, were the despised competitors of the Israelites. The curse can be seen as part of a passage that seeks to justify hatred of the Canaanites at the time the story was being told.
