Ham and beans in instant pot

Ham’s descendants are interpreted by Flavius Josephus and others ham and beans in instant pot having populated Africa and adjoining parts of Asia. This illustration from the 16th-century Nuremberg Chronicle uses the spelling “Cham”. Genesis 5:32 indicates that Noah became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth at the age of 500 years old, but does not list in detail their specific years.

Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood in Genesis 7. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done unto him. A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And let Canaan be his servant.

Noah indirectly cursed him via his son Canaan. The Talmud deduces two possible explanations, one attributed to Rabbi Abba Arikha and one to Rabbi Samuel, for what Ham did to Noah to warrant the curse. According to Abba Arika, Ham castrated Noah on the basis that, since Noah cursed Ham by his fourth son Canaan, Ham must have injured Noah with respect to a fourth son. Emasculating him thus deprived Noah of the possibility of a fourth son.
