However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Χαμ (Cham).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the Bible, "Ham" is primarily used as a proper noun referring to one of the sons of Noah. Ham is traditionally understood to be the progenitor of several nations, including the Egyptians, Canaanites, and other African and Near Eastern peoples. The name "Ham" is often associated with warmth or heat, which may reflect the geographical regions his descendants inhabited.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Ham is one of the three sons of Noah, alongside Shem and Japheth. According to the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, Ham's descendants settled in parts of Africa and the Near East. The narrative of Ham is significant in the context of the post-flood world, as his actions and the subsequent curse on his son Canaan have been subjects of much theological discussion. Historically, interpretations of Ham's account have been misused to justify racial theories, but a conservative biblical perspective emphasizes the unity and equality of all humanity as descendants of Noah.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2552.htm">chamam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>hot<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hot (1), warm (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> III. <font class="hebrew2">חָם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <em>warm, hot</em>, see below <font class="hebrew2">חמם</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">חֹם</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">חמם</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">חמא</font> (√ of following; compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb032601.gif"> <em>be hard</em>, used of curdled milk, Frey). <p> III. <font class="hebrew2">חָם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>hot</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לחם ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/9-12.htm">Joshua 9:12</a> <em>hot bread</em> (JE), i.e. freshly baked; <font class="hebrew2">בגדים חַמִּים</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/37-17.htm">Job 37:17</a> of garments heated by south wind. — 1. <font class="hebrew2">חָם</font> see above.
