The Line Of Ham

Hammurabi was born in in 1810 B.C. from a family of Amorites. The Amorites were a nomadic tribe from north of Mesopotamia in what is now known as Syria. Hammurabi inherited the kingship from his father, Sinmuballit. Since Hammurabi was

Hammurabi was the sixth king in the First Dynasty of Babylon in the 18th century BCE. He became a first king of the empire of Babylonia when he conquest Sumerian and Akkadians. He was the creator of the Code of Hammurabi that known as one of the earliest surviving codes of law in recorded history.

There is much information regarding chapter twelve through fifty of Genesis. I am going to mention what most of the chapters is comprised of. I felt that a big portion of the chapters discussed the importance of Abraham. Abraham was a man married to a woman named Sarai, who both lived in Haran. Even though Abraham was a good person, he was still without a child. One day God spoke to him and told him to get ready to leave. The Lord was going to direct Abraham to the land promised to him. Later in time, Abraham was sitting outside on a dark night. The Lord appeared to him and promised him a reward. The reward would be that he would have a son. By having faith in God's greater plan, Abraham would have a great reward. In addition, God promised Abraham that he would be a father of many nations and have numerous descendants. Later, Abraham told his wife that she would have a child. Sarah wondered how a woman of her age could conceive a child. One today would probably think having a child at that age is impossible. Abraham tried relentlessly to tell Sarah that she would conceive a child. Sarah chose disbelief instead of trusting in God's plan. Eventually, Abraham chose to have a child with Hagar. Hagar was a servant who gave birth to a son named Ishmael. Through Ishmael, there would be a line of descendants. Later in time, God spoke to Sarah and specifically told her she would have a son. She began to laugh and not trust in the Lord. God told Sarah that she would name her son

The Hebrews came from the lineage of Abraham. Abraham was a man of a monotheistic God. He was promised a nation by his God. The Hebrews were traders and herders that communicated in Hebrew. They originated in East Asia, but moved to Canaan their promised land. Canaan is modern era Lebron, Israel, and Jordan. They lived there for a hundred years. After a hundred years they experienced a drought that caused a famine so they moved to Egypt for refuge. The Hebrews suffered in Egypt because many of their people were in enslaved and forced into hard labor. They were led into freedom with the help of Moses and Joshua. So they returned to Canaan. The Hebrews fought to take back their land, but they we successful. 2

Human migration started from Africa , then led out to the Middles East. From there they went westward into Eurasia and eastward into Asia, all 45,000 years ago. With the

Hammurabi was important in his time because of the way he changed Mesopotamia, and what he did throughout his life to help them become a stronger unit. As becoming leader at the age of eighteen, Babylon was a small-kingdom and Hammurabi wanted to expand from that following his plan that he’d created when ruled King. He first made treaties with other strong, fierce

The migration of the Bantu people took place from western Africa to the majority of the southern half of the continent. The first group of Bantu people to migrate made villages along the Congo River. With the villages being intertwined with the dense rain forests, some groups continued to journey in search for better farming land. Those Bantu groups ended up heading south towards the eastern coast of Africa.

The Book of Genesis tells us the family line leading to Christ. This week’s reading had many interesting and prominent characters. I believe that the most appealing character that I read about this week was Joseph.

Next where did the humans originate from? Humans originated from Africa. But why? The reason the humans where in Africa was because they were following their food or game and they migrated. They were also called nomads because they did not stay in one place they moved around and made their way here.

When Isaac was dissatisfied with Esau for marrying black Canaanite women, the cousins of Ishmael, Esau then went to his uncle Ishmael and married his daughter who was a full blood Egyptian and bared bi-racial children who became the founders of the nation of Edom that was located in ancient turkey. All the children

Humans first originated at Africa and then they were nomads so when they food is gone they follow it so then they found now known Egypt. After that when they food was gone they found Asia and China and populated there and still making the food go causing them

Their two sons had ancestry from both the Hebrew peoples and Arab peoples. In their old age Abraham and Sarah still had yet to conceive and Abraham was accordingly promised to have a son by God. Luckily for them there was a Mesopotamian law which stated a man could have many wives, and if a legitimate wife could not bear him children, he could take a servant as a wife. This was an issue because Sarah was supposedly barren, so since that was the custom and law, she had

Nimrod is described in Genesis 10:9 as a descendant of Noah and a “mighty hunter before the lord” (King James Version). This description gave his name the definition of one who is a skillful hunter, the technical definition still found within English dictionaries. Nimrod himself is identified as the founder of a kingdom encompassing Babel, Erech, and Accad in the land of Shinar; lands referring to Babylon and modern day Iraq (Funk & Wagnells 1). Nimrod is further associated with the story of the Tower of Babel as the man responsible for instigating its creation as a fail safe against God’s wrath (Imus

     Abraham stands as one of the most important figures in the Hebrew Bible, and is central to the understanding of God’s solution to the problem of mankind. Man, the mysterious creature that God wraught as a semi-experiment, is constantly prone to believe he is self-sufficient and capable of survival without God, the central problem God must deal with in the Hebrew Bible. To solve this problem, God decides to strike fear in the heart of man and to revolutionise his lifestyle by creating laws and empowering a chosen group of people, who will spread the word of God by example. These people are the Hebrews, and Abraham is the father of their race, the man from whom all
