Genesis 9:25-27Cursed be CanaanThe sons of NoahI.The curse of Canaan was SERVITUDE. Noah saw in Ham and his son some traits of character that showed a moral inferiority, which he foresaw would have an effect upon their descendants, and would be visited by God with chastisement and disapproval. II. The blessing of Shem was RELIGIOUS PRIVILEGE. Israel was “alone among the nations” in respect of their superior knowledge of God.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 9:27

Gen 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. Ver. 27. God persuade Japhet. ] For none else can do it. Men may speak persuasively, but to persuade is proper to God alone. He "speaks to the heart"; Hos 2:14 we to the ear only. He persuadeth and allureth, not only by a moral persuasion, but by an irresistible inward drawing. Act 11:17 In the Hebrew there is a sweet alliteration; q.d., God shall persuade the persuasible. He shall... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 9:18-29

PROPHECY OF NOAH, Genesis 9:18-29. The historical occasion of the remarkable prophecy uttered by Noah in regard to his sons is now given. The sin or error of Noah brings out the character of his sons, and gives rise to predictions which concern the whole family of mankind. This prediction, in style and occasion, is a fair sample of some Scripture prophecies. It has an historic cause, and relates first to immediate events. Compare, in these respects, the remarkable Messianic prophesies in... read more
