1075. Verse 22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. “Ham” and “Canaan” have the same signification here as before; “Ham” the church corrupted; “Canaan” worship in externals without internal worship; “saw the nakedness of his father” signifies that he observed the errors and perversions mentioned above; “and told his two brethren without” signifies that he derided. They are called his “brethren” because he professed faith.
