Places
Canaan in Genesis 9
KAY-nun
This place shows up in Genesis 9:18: “The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Genesis 9:18
“The sons of Noah who went out from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.”
What kids can learn
When you hear canaan in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Genesis 9:18 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
