Lexical notes
Verse 21
- From the loins of Ham. The significance of mentioning Ham here is most likely tied up with the incident described in Gen 9:22-27 where some LDS scholars think that Ham stole the garment of the Priesthood from Noah (see commentary there).
Verse 24
- Preserved the curse. See Gen 9:25.
Exegesis
Verse 21
The Book of Moses makes reference to a people called "Canaanites" who lived long before Canaan, the son of Ham (see Moses 7:6-12). Some difficulties in the JST manuscripts and in the Book of Abraham manuscripts may suggest that the situation described in this verse and the one following is more complex than it at first appears. This complication may also play into the curse of Canaan described in Gen 9:22-27, where it is unclear why Ham's activities result in a curse for Canaan.
