The Curse of Canaan, Part 3 (Genesis 9:24–25)

Noah didn’t just pronounce a curse on Canaan so that the curse would be more limited than, for instance, a curse pronounced on his son Ham, but also because he saw, by divine inspiration, how Ham’s moral perversity would live on among the Canaanites.Music Credit: J.
