Canaan

The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

…he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

After this, Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave of the field at Machpelah near Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

…and he drove all his livestock before him, along with all the possessions he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land in Canaan.
