And it tied in here beautifully.

And so when you go to that story of the flood, for those that's not familiar, it says that Ham uncovers his father's nakedness.

And then he's cursed, but actually he's not cursed.

His firstborn son, Canaan, is cursed.

And so if you're reading it chronologically, he ain't even born yet.

So it's like, okay, Ham's the one that did the wrong, but instead of him being cursed, his firstborn son that's not born yet is cursed.

Well, when you go to Leviticus chapter 17,

It says to uncover thy father's nakedness is to sleep with thy father's wife, for it is your father's nakedness.

But in that story, I was like, okay, he slept with his mother.

And he used other biblical examples to prove it, and he said, you know, look at King David and Absalom.

Absalom was his son, and Absalom runs David out of the kingdom and takes over.

Well, his first act of business was,

It says he pitches a tent on David's house and goes into all of David's concubines, excuse me, in the sight of all of Israel.
