- All of the Egyptians descended from him, preserving the blood of the Canaanites. 1:22
- Egypt was discovered by a woman who was the daughter of Ham and Egyptus (which is Egypt in the Chaldean language, signifying that which is forbidden). 1:23
- When this woman discovered Egypt it was under water. Later her sons settled there.
So in this way the curse of Ham was preserved in that race. 1:24
- Pharaoh ruled wisely, and was blessed by his father Noah with the blessings of the earth, but cursed him when it came to the priesthood. 1:26
