Blame
Noah
Noah planted a vineyard and drank of the wine thereof and was drunken
within
his tent.
What happened?
His son Ham saw the nakedness of his father and did something about it,
and told his two brothers about it.
Wow!
They covered their shoulders with a garment and went in backwards and
covered
the nakedness of their father and left, and saw not the nakedness of
their
father.
Noah awoke!
And knew what his younger son had done unto him,
and immediately
right then cursed the son.
Making his children servants forever to his brothers.
Did the children take it lightly?
No way.
They would get around the curse somehow.
How?
Naturally, by building a tower which would reach unto heaven
with
their alter on the top of it.
Did God like this defiance?
No, indeed not!
He came down and confounded their speech so that they could
not
understand one another. So, the children of Ham gave up building the
tower, which today is called the Tower of Babel .
The curse, however, has remained.
Blame Noah.
For three things the earth is disquieted, and for
four which it cannot
bear: For a servant when he reigneth; and a
fool when he is filled with
meat; For an odious woman when she is
married; and an handmaid that
is heir to her mistress.
(Proverbs 30: 21-23)
