The Line of Ham

 

The Lineage of Ham and The Land of Ham

It is through Ham’s lineage that we see the development of most of Africa and a large portion of the Middle East, including modern day Israel and Iraq. Here is a breakdown of Ham’s lineage and the countries they founded. We know that Egypt was considered the “land of Ham” because of the following verses:

“Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.” – Psalms 105:23

“They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.” – Psalms 105:27

“Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.” – Psalms 106:22

The Land of Ham was Egypt based on the context and reference to the events in Exodus. Many believe these verses to have been written by David. Those that claim that Ham was the father of all black Africans and then deny that Egyptians were black even though the descended from Ham, do so based solely on their racial bias to Hebrews marrying, living among, and being mistaken for black people.

The Sons of Ham (Genesis 10:6)

1. Cush (Sudan)
2. Mizraim (Egypt)
3. Phut (Libya)
4. Canaan (Israel)

The Sons of Cush (Ham’s Grandsons)

1. Seba (North-Easter Africa)
2. Havilah (North-West Yemen)
3. Sabtah (Near Ethiopia and Sudan)
4. Raamah (Near Saudi Arabia)
5. Sabtecha (Unknown)
6. Nimrod (Iraq / Babylon)

The Sons of Mizraim (Ham’s Grandsons)

1. Ludim (The Moors – Near Libya)
2. Anamim (unknown)
3. Lehabim (unknown)
4. Naphtuhim (Meroe)
5. Pathrusim (Pathros – Upper Egypt)
6. Casluhim (Part of Egypt)
7. Caphtorim (Cilicia, Cyprus, Crete)

The Sons of Canaan (Ham’s Grandsons)

1. Sidon (Lebanon)
2. Heth (Hittites – Hebron / Canaan)
3. Jebusite (Canaan)
4. Amorite (Canaan)
5. Girgasite (Canaan)
6. Hivite (Canaan)
7. Arkite (Canaan)
8. Sinite (Canaan)
9. Arvadite (Canaan)
10. Zemarite (Canaan)
11. Hamathite (Canaan)

The sons of Phut are not mentioned, but we know that they existed because Phut’s lineage (Libyans) is mentioned in general several times in scripture. When we look at all of the countries that descended from Ham, and then we look at scripture, we see that not only did the Hebrews interact and mix with them regularly, but we see that they inhabited large parts of the “Middle East”, which casts major doubt on the notion that Arabia of the past was full of white or even light skinned people as it is in the modern day.

Shemite and Hamite Intermixing

One very interesting fact that we find in scripture, is that the descendants of Ham and Shem often mixed. The following is a list of Hamites and Shemites that mixed and the children they had if applicable (names listed in alphabetical order by male’s name):

Contradictions In Eurocentric Christian Theology

When it comes to European Christian theology, there are major contradictions when it comes to Ham, his descendants, and what they looked like. In racist theology like Christian Identity and Mormonism, black people are seen as cursed, which is often used as an excuse to justify evils like slavery and murder. However, European Christians can’t seem to get their theology straight. Even though they teach the black people come from Ham:

• They deny that ancient Canaanites were black, even though they’re descendants of Ham’s son Canaan.
• They deny that ancient Libyans were black, even though they’re descendants of Ham’s son Phut.
• They deny that ancient Egyptians were black, even though they’re descendants of Ham’s son Mizraim.
• They deny that ancient Babylonians were black, even though they’re descendants of Ham’s son Cush.

Ham only had four sons, which means they deny the blackness of his only four sons, while claiming that Ham is the father of all black people. The reason for this outright denial of the truth in spite of the facts and their own theology is 100% based on skin color. Europeans understand that if they concretely admit that any of Ham’s four sons were beyond a shadow of a doubt black, then they also have to admit that Hebrews were black as well because they mixed with the descendants of Ham.
