ESV Reformation Study Bible – 1 Chr 1:8
1 Chr 1:8
1:8 sons of Ham. More attention is given to the Hamites than the Japhethites because Israel had more dealings with them. The list begins with all four sons of Ham, but records only the descendants of Cush, Egypt, and Canaan. “Cush” is the Hebrew for “Ethiopia,” meaning the remote areas south of Egypt.
