In the Old Testament, the third son of Noah (Gen. 5: 32; 6: 10; Moses 8: 12, 27).

Noah, his sons, and their families entered the ark, Gen. 7: 13. Canaan, Ham's son, was cursed, Gen. 9: 18-25. The government of Ham was patriarchal and was blessed as to things of the earth and wisdom but not as to the priesthood, Abr. 1: 21-27. Ham's wife, Egyptus, was a descendant of Cain, the sons of their daughter Egyptus settled in Egypt, Abr. 1: 23, 25 (Ps. 105: 23; 106: 21-22).
