Having considered the terrible mistakes made by Ham, the second son of Noah, in turning his father’s nudity into a topic of gossip and joke, it is apt for us to look at the scene from another point of view so as to make our lessons from this scenario more balanced. In that regard, we shall be looking at the man Noah as an example of recklessness and how not to be a father.
The bible personality of our spotlight today is Noah, a man said to have found grace in the eyes of God. This appendage to the name of Noah was interesting because, until that time, no one had been so described before.
Continuing our spotlight on the lessons to be learned from Noah, another highlight that distinguished him was his inclination to scientific procedures, otherwise known as experiments.
Thousands of years after the curse of the ground and six hundred years after his father’s prophetic declaration, Noah indeed fulfilled this destiny by virtue of the force of the spoken word or the influence of parental decrees.
Today, we shall consider the counterpart lesson of yesterday’s spotlight by profiling two men who demonstrated unusual maturity by covering their parent’s shame. We shall be looking at the story of Shem and Japheth, who covered the nakedness of their father.
