P. 129 in paradise to prison states that: the curse upon Canaan was basically fulfilled when Israel, led by Joshua, conquered the inhabitants of Canaan and made them subject....

You must read Genesis 9:20-29 to fully understand this question. Basically Noah planted a vineyard, got drunk, some say with help from Canaan and passed out in his tent naked. Ham saw this and told Shem and Japheth, they went in and covered him (without looking) and Noah cursed Canaan to be servants of his relatives. His curse was being a slave.

How was the myth of Noah's curse used to subjugate the people of African descent?

The curse of Ham is a biblical fallacy perpetrated by people who wanted to justify the enslavement of black people. The premise was that Noah cursed Ham, his black son, and doomed him to a life of servitude to others (slavery). In actuality, there is no curse of Ham, who was Ethiopian, but a curse of Canaan, who was not.


Did Noah curse his son Ham or grandson Canaan in Genesis 9 verses 21 thru 25?

In Genesis, Noah cursed Canaan only, and did not curse Ham nor any others of Ham's children. The story of Noah and his Ark is now recognised by scholars as unhistorical. Since the Canaanites were the traditional enemy of the Hebrew people, the legend developed around a curse on their putative ancestor.


Why did the Israelites fight against Canaanite?

The descendants of Canaan, who encompassed the tribes of the Promised Land at the time of the Exodus from Egypt, were under a curse stemming back to the days of Noah and his sons. The Curse of Ham was laid down because of Ham's disregard for his father, and would cause all the descendants of Canaan, the fourth generation in the line of Noah through Ham, to serve the descendants of Shem, among which came forth Abraham, Isaac, Jacob who becomes Israel, Joseph, and the Hebrew people.In a much broader sense, God had chosen the Hebrew people as His own, and Canaan Land was the land God had promised the Hebrews.


Why was canaan cursed?

Canaan was cursed because he was born of incest.

What was the sexual orientation of Canaan the grandson of Noah?

To say that Canaan was gay is essentially an argument from silence. The Bible makes it plain when it speaks of homosexuality or heterosexuality or anything else for that matter. This allegation is supposedly based upon an interpretation of Genesis 3 v 15, where Canaan is cursed by Noah. A wide variety of interpretations of the meaning of this curse have been advanced over the years but homosexuality would seem to be the least likely from the text and the context.


How was Noahs son Ham cursed?

The reason why ham was cursed was because of the fact that Noah was celebrating the fact that he and his family have been set free from the aspect of what it happened with the flood and with that his son Ham noticed his father being naked and made fun of the issue and was cursed because of that; whereas his two brothers were respectful to their father Noah and they went in with a covering backwards and put the covering over their naked father. Answer 2 Ham was not cursed by anyone. Noah cursed Canaan one of Ham's sons (Genesis 9).

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.
