Many people make judgments against those in the bible because they do not understand how "those people" could have done "that sin" yet many people do the very same sin- and worse! People are often blinded to their own sins and yet judge others that commit the same sin. This is hypocritical judgment that Messiah Yeshua spoke against in Matthew 7
Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
To many, the first sin when Eve ate the forbidden fruit (likely a pomegranate) and Adam also ate it seems like a sin that nobody else would commit yet many of the same people commit the very same sin. There seemed nothing remarkable about the fruit except that it appeared good to eat. Eve believed the lie by satan that it would make her like God so she ate it and gave it to her husband who also ate it. Yahweh has told us to not eat pork or shellfish yet most "christians" make excuses to eat it and rationalize away Yahweh's instructions to NOT eat it even though He is quite clear it is an ABOMINATION to Him to do so.
Leviticus 11:7 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
Isaiah 65
1 I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', unto a nation that was not called by My name.
2 I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoke Me to My face continually, that sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon bricks;
4 That sit among the graves, and lodge in the vaults; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 That say: 'Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou'; these are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Many people do not understand how Abraham and Sarah did not wait and trust Yahweh to give them a son and took it into their own hands and had Abraham sleep with the servant Hagar resulting in Ishmael. Yet the very same people who do not understand how Abraham and Sarah could "do such a thing" are promoting a presidential candidate who does not follow Yahweh and teaching that "you have to hold your nose and vote for the lessor evil" instead of PRAYING and asking Yahweh to put a president in place that would do His will and to have mercy on us. They believe they are "helping God along" by voting for the "lessor evil". How do they KNOW Trump would be less evil than Hillary? Trump has made some very disconcerting remarks that should have raised a red flag. What if Yahweh's plan was to have Hillary in office and give her a Damascus road experience? What if Trump will bring severe judgment on the United States? I do not vote because I choose to not vote for a "lessor evil". I do not support Hillary with the hope she may change (likely she won't) and I will not support Trump because he looks too much like hitler's rise to power when hitler promised to "make Germany great again". I choose to let Yahweh put His person in power and I pray for whoever that may be. I also pray for Yahweh's mercy on us. It is my belief, this is what Yahweh would have us do - TRUST HIM and let Him move others to put into power His choice. (Read about Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael in Genesis 16 - 17)
Many FALSELY claim that Lot was compromising because he lived in sodom. I have heard so many popular "teachers" twist the bible and make lot seem like a compromising backslider (one popular "pastor" actually calls Lot that) Yet how many of those that judge Lot for living in sodom live in San Francisco, Seattle (that has a sodomite mayor), Orlando, Tel Aviv, or any other high sodomite populations? Are the people that live in those cities all backsliders and compromisers because that is where they live? Or are they vexed and upset with it like Righteous Lot?
2 Peter 2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
I often hear of those who do not understand how Ancient Israel complained about the manna Yahweh provided for them for the forty years they wandered in the wilderness. I have heard so many "pastors" ridicule them over this. My question is how many people could go just one week eating the same thing without wishing they had something else to eat? I know I find it hard eating the leftovers for two nights. It was great the first night although by the third night, I'm glad to be finishing it up and making something new to eat the next night. Try eating the same thing for a week and you can empathize a little with Ancient Israel. It is one thing to wish you had something different and being grateful and another thing to gripe and complain and wish you were back in the slavery Yahweh had just rescued you from!
Do not judge those you read about in the bible without having experienced what they had gone through because you just may find out you are judging them hypocritically. It really upsets me when "pastors" who should know better malign those in the bible and do not empathize with what those people had gone through. Abraham was given the promise of a son but not Sarah - they likely assumed Sarah was not included in the promise and did what was common in that day - the slave was a surrogate for the wife. If Sarah had thought that she was part of the promise, they may have possibly done things different. Anyone who lives in a city that is not obeying Yahweh can be accused of compromising and backsliding according to some "pastors" even though the bible is clear Lot was righteous and was vexed on a daily basis with his city.

Days of Noah and Days of Lot - wickedness AND GLOBALISM!
Years From Creation :
(all years / ages from the book of Genesis)
Jared 460-1422
Noah: 1056 - 2006
Shem 1556-2158
FLOOD: 1656
Arpachshad 1658-2096
Shelah 1693-2126
Eber 1723-2187
Peleg 1757-1996
Terah 1878-2083
Abraham:1948-2123
First a little history information. The tower of babel occurred after the flood and before Abraham's birth. Some claim it happened in 2,200BC which works out to be 1744 since creation. I do not see is accurate due to the bible mentioning the time of division of the nations / languages occurred during the time of Peleg who was born in 1757 after creation. We cannot know for sure the dates BC that many events occurred although we CAN know for sure the year from Creation that many of the same events occurred.
Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4 And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
Peleg and all of his ancestors from Noah to his father Eber were not only alive during the tower of babel, they were all alive when Abraham and Lot were born. It is interesting that the wickedness that led up to the tower of babel happened 100 - 292 years after the flood. The tower of babel mirrors the timeline of the wickedness that led up to the flood. From commentaries, it is said that the angels that fell and took wives (creating the nephillim) happened in the days of Jared and other writings say 200 years before the flood. The tower of babel pretty much mirrors of what happened before the flood including the same timeline and the cities of sodom and gomorah, about 500 miles away, existed at the same time the tower of babel was built and they were filled with wickedness and homosexuality.
IF the tower of babel happened closer to the time of Abraham and Lot, it would be most interesting in that Yeshua said that the end times would be as in the days of Noah and the Days of Lot. YES this means wickedness including homosexuality, genetic manipulation and such but it also could mean the globalism nature and people working together for "the greater good" and trying to be like God by transhumanism, cyborgs, and other technologies that is being used to try and gain immortality.
I'm thinking that when Abraham was told to move from Chaldea, it may have been part of the spreading out in the aftermath of babel so that may be one indication the tower of babel may have been closer to Abraham (and Lot's) birth than to the flood. Also there would have had to have been enough time to build the population up for them to get together to build the tower. Even though I believe they may have had electricity, automobiles of some sort, and other technology before the flood, they would not have had it after the flood or at least not enough to have rebuilt it by then. Most who were involved in the globalism / rebellion of the tower were likely still alive in Abraham and Lot's day (as were all their ancestors from Noah on) and they still had the globalist view - they just could not work together because Yahweh gave them different languages.
Genesis 11
28 And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Today we not only have the wickedness and violence that was prevalent before the flood in the days of Noah and the days of Lot, we also have the globalism and science (including the space programs, cloning, genetic manipulation) that are working together to "be like god" just like in the days of Noah - remember he was still alive when the tower of babel was built - and right before Lot was born - and they didn't stop their rebellion and trying to be like Yahweh, they were just slowed down when the languages were changed and they were spread throughout the world. Part of the wickedness then was definitely the working together against Yahweh and in the future will culminate in their turning their weapons against Yahweh when Yeshua returns.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
The days of Noah and days of Lot Yeshua says will be right before His return DEFINITELY includes violence, homosexuality, calling evil good and good evil. It also includes globalism and the working together doing things Yahweh said to not do as part of the rebellion against Him. Just an interesting study.

Should Christians vote?
Whenever a "pastor" or "christian" teacher speaks on politics, they make the statement 'it's a Christian's duty to vote' like it's a doctrine from the bible. They even (mis)use a few verses to make their man-made doctrine to appear to be from the bible.
Yahweh does NOT need your vote. Yes, He does use people to carry out His plans although He does not tell His people to compromise to do so. Yahweh can get the heathen, including the false "christians", to carry out His plans as He has since the Garden of Eden (He was not surprised by Adam and Eve's fall otherwise He would have had angels guarding the trees to prevent them from eating or would not have put the trees in the garden)
Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
While this passage is about false prophets, the principle is the same: Even if Yahweh allows the false prophet's prophecies to come to pass, they are still a false prophet and Yahweh is using them as a test to see if you will follow after them or will choose Him. If you support or vote for a political candidate that is not following Yahweh, they will lead you to a false "god" whether it be allah, ba-al, or mammon. This is a test to see if you truly love Yahweh.
Many "christians" believe they need to vote for the "least evil" when there is not a True Christian candidate. This hints at dominionism where they think they need to do things THEIR WAY to get the world perfect for Yeshua's return. Nowhere in scripture does it hint that we are to compromise to make things "better". In fact, this is the end times and voting for someone who APPEARS to be a lessor evil (in their opinion) may be contrary to Yahweh's plan. I can't get over how many "teachers" claim that "if Christians voted in the last election, obama would not have been elected". Really? obama is the person Yahweh wanted in office to bring judgment against this nation. Voting against him would have been against Yahweh's plan. It would also have been a compromise since there were not any True Christian candidates that had a chance to win and voting for him was voting for an obvious evil. I believe voting is a test to see if you will compromise to gain earthly benefits following after someone who is against Yahweh or will follow Yahweh and let Him put in the candidate of His choice that will fulfill His plan.
Yahweh was Ancient Israel's King but they demanded an earthly king. Yahweh planned on giving them King David when David was old enough (he had not been born yet), but they wanted a king right then. Judah was going to rule as was given in prophecy (David is from Judah) and Yahweh gave the people what THEY wanted - king Saul who was from Benjamin.
Genesis 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Genesis 49:27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
Saul was tall and good looking - someone that appeared good to the people - but he did not obey Yahweh. If the people had waited until Yahweh's timing, Yahweh would have led them directly until David was born and was old enough to rule.
People going with the crowds instead of Yahweh's plan is what led them to want Barabbas released and Yeshua crucified. Yes, this was Yahweh's plan although the people were individually responsible for their actions. Fortunately for them, Yeshua asked Yahweh to forgive them because they did not know what they were doing. Likely they were given over to do this so Yahweh's plan would be carried out.
Matthew 27
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Yahweh can get people to carry out His plans without their help. In fact, the middle east conflict is because Abraham and Sarah did not trust Yahweh and His timing and tried to help Him. Yahweh promised them a son and because Sarah was 90 years old and was barren, they decided to have a son through her handmaiden. This resulting son was Ishmael the father of the Saudis and was an ancestor of muhammed. Abraham and Sarah had to live with their decisions to not wait for Yahweh's timing and trying to help Him out.
Genesis 15
2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
Genesis16
1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Genesis 16
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Many "christians" are supporting Trump for president because he is the opposite of obama. While he looks good, like King Saul, is he someone a Christian should vote for? Consider his track record:
- Married several times
- Numerous affairs
- Wealth comes from casinos
- Owns at least one strip club,
- Recently a democrat
- Recently supported abortions
- Identifies with presbyterian church although nominal (at best) christian.
- Looked up to Norman Vincent Peal as a Christian leader
The end times is here and antichrist is about to come into power. Why do Christians believe they can vote for a candidate to "make the U.S. strong again" when it is going against what the bible says will happen in the end times? I believe whether you vote or not and who you vote for is a test by Yahweh. Voting for someone to "make the world better" when you know that is not Yahweh's end time plan or if you vote for someone who is vocally opposed to Yahweh is a test to see if you value this world and the dominionist view of apostate "christianity" or if you will follow Yahweh whole heartedly. I stopped voting and got out of politics when Yahweh opened my eyes about President Bush and the end time plan after the ecumenical prayer movement in the wake of the 9-11 events (which Yahweh clearly told me "Bush did it")

Shem, Noah, Abraham, and Job
In yesterday's post, I showed how Canaan (Ham's son) was cursed because of what Ham (and Canaan?) had done to Noah and how Ham's descendants included sodom and gomorah. Today's topic will be Shem and how he is related to both Abraham and likely to Job.
Genesis 9
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
After the above incident, Ham's son Canaan (why not Ham and why not his other sons?) was cursed and Shem was blessed.
Shem's line:
Genesis 10
21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Condensed, here is the line from Shem to Abraham (see Genesis 11 as well) :
Shem-> Arpachshad -> Shelah -> Eber -> Peleg -> Reu -> Serug -> Nahor -> Terah -> Abram
More on the ages and ancestry is in Genesis 11
Genesis 11
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Abraham (and therefore King David and Messiah Yeshua) were descended through Shem's son Arphaxad. Noah lived for 58 years after Abraham was born and Shem outlived Abraham by 35 years and was alive for the first 110 years of Isaac's life. If you read commentaries such as the book of Jasher, Abraham studied with Noah and both Abraham and Isaac studied with Shem. Since Noah and Shem were direct ancestors of Shem (and therefor Noah), this could likely be assumed even without the commentaries. Someone had to teach Job and Abraham about Yahweh and how and what to sacrifice (read further)
Adam was the first man, then his son Seth, and then Enosh. Enosh lived for 84 years after Noah was born and was alive for 695 years of Adam's life. So one can see that information about the Garden of Eden could have been given from Adam to Enosh, to Noah, and to Abraham and what it was like before the flood could have been given directly from Noah and Shem to Abraham.
The stories from mythology likely originated from what was taught by Noah and his sons - and, if you believe the nephilim were the offspring of fallen angels and women and that genetic manipulation was going on before the flood, likely the stories were true - the fallen angels and hybrids were worshiped as "gods" and is what brought the judgment of the flood. Many who rebelled against Yahweh after the flood turned to idol worship due to what they learned about the false "gods" that existed before the flood and is why there was idol worship after the flood Even Abraham's family had idols:
Joshua 24:2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
Now as for Job who most commentaries believe lived at the time after the flood and before Ancient Israel was in Egypt:
Shem's son Aram had a son named Uz. Job lived in Uz so very likely Job was a descendant of Shem through Job may have very well been alive at the time of Abraham.
Genesis 10
22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
What is most interesting is that Noah knew what animals were clean and unclean to bring on the ark and offered sacrifices of the clean animals to Yahweh after the flood:
Genesis 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Job also offered sacrifices :
Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
So obviously clean and unclean was before the law was given to Moses centuries later. The need to sacrifice was also known before the Exodus. Moses also told pharaoh Ancient Israel wanted to go to the wilderness to sacrifice to Yahweh BEFORE he was given the law on Mt. Sinai. So what is with "the law is for the Jews" when Noah and Job were not Jews? (they were pre-Jews) --- the law was given before the flood and known after the flood.
Genesis 9
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
After the above incident, Ham's son Canaan (why not Ham and why not his other sons?) was cursed and Shem was blessed.
Shem's line:
Genesis 10
21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Condensed, here is the line from Shem to Abraham (see Genesis 11 as well) :
Shem-> Arpachshad -> Shelah -> Eber -> Peleg -> Reu -> Serug -> Nahor -> Terah -> Abram
More on the ages and ancestry is in Genesis 11
Genesis 11
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
