"And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant. God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.""Cursed be Canaan ..." What Cain was to the antediluvian world, Canaan was to the world after the flood. He was the ancestor of the Canaanites who preceded Israel in the land of Palestine, and the preoccupation of that entire Canaanite... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 9:25

Genesis 9:25. And he said, cursed, &c.— In consequence of this different behaviour of his sons, Noah, as a patriarch, was enlightened, and as a father of a family, who is to reward or punish his children, was empowered to foretel what should happen to their respective families: for this prophecy relates not so much to themselves as to their posterity, the people and nations descended from them. He was not prompted by wine, or resentment; for neither the one nor the other could infuse the... read more

D. What became of Noah 6:9-9:29The Lord destroyed the corrupt, violent human race and deluged its world, but He used righteous Noah to preserve life and establish a new world after the Flood."Noah’s experience presents decisively the author’s assertion that the Lord judges human sin but provides a means for perpetuating the creation blessing (Genesis 1:26-28) and the salvation hope for an elect seed (Genesis 3:15). The recurring theme of blessing, threatened by sin but preserved by divine... read more

3. The curse on Canaan 9:18-29This pericope presents the characteristics of the three branches of the human family that grew out of Noah. Moses stressed the themes of blessing and cursing. God cursed Canaan with slavery because Ham showed disrespect toward Noah whereas He blessed Shem and Japheth for their regard for their father’s vulnerable condition."The world seems all set for a new start. The slate has been wiped clean, and we hope that the mistakes of the antediluvians will not be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 9:25-27

This oracle, the first time Moses recorded a human uttering a curse, is a prophecy announcing divine judgment on Canaan’s descendants for their sin that had its seed in Ham’s act. Noah, as a prophet, announced the future of this grandson’s descendants (cf. Genesis 49; Deuteronomy 33; et al.)."For his breach of the family, his [Ham’s] own family would falter." [Note: Kidner, p. 104.] The Canaanites became known for their shameless depravity in sexual matters. [Note: See Charles Pfeiffer, Ras... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:1-29

The Divine Blessing and Covenant. Noah and the Vine. The Curse of Canaan1-7. The primeval benediction of man (Genesis 1:28) is now repeated and enlarged. Animal food is allowed (cp. Genesis 1:29), but blood is forbidden. The blood makes the life manifest, as it were, to our senses, and the life belongs to God, and must, therefore, be offered to Him.5, 6. The ground of the sacredness of human life here is the existence of the divine image in man. It is not conceived as being wholly destroyed by... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Genesis 9:25

(25) Cursed be Canaan.—The prophecy of Noah takes the form of a poem, like Lamech’s boast in Genesis 4:0. In it Ham is passed over in silence, as though his unfilial conduct, recorded in Genesis 9:22, made him unworthy of a blessing, while it was not so wicked as to bring on him a curse. The whole weight of Noah’s displeasure falls on Canaan, whose degraded position among the nations is thrice insisted upon.A servant of servants. That is, the most abject of slaves. This was fulfilled in the... read more
