1213. Verse 20. These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations. “The sons of Ham” signify derivations of doctrinals and of worships from the corrupt internal worship which is “Ham;” “according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, in their nations,” signifies according to the genius of each, in particular and in general; “according to their families,” is according to their morals; “according to their tongues,” is according to their opinions; “in their lands,” is in general relatively to their opinions; “in their nations,” is in general relatively to their morals.
