The Lord Will

Genesis 9:24

β€œAnd Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 9

Meaning

After waking, Noah becomes aware of what had occurred during his drunken exposure.

Read carefully

The phrase about what was done has prompted multiple interpretations; the verse itself does not spell out every detail of Ham's offense.

Reflection

The narrative leaves some details compressed, which calls for humility rather than certainty where the text itself remains sparse.
