The Sin of Ham

Noah was in his tent

Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father. Now what does that mean? What is the nakedness of the father? It is not limited to the fact that Ham saw his father with no clothes on, because the term, nakedness of thy father, includes something else. It has to include your father's wife. Now this phrase, the nakedness of thy father, is clearly explained in Leviticus chapter 18. And this clears it up, as to what Ham did. Chapter 18 of Leviticus, I'm going to read verse number 1 and then I'm going to skip down to verses 6 through 8.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.

Now also in Leviticus chapter 20 and verse number 11,

And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
