WARNING: this lesson contains discussion about sexual assault, because that appears to be what is happening in the Scripture we are examining. the discussion is not graphic or detailed, but it is probably not suitable for younger children.

lesson 5 begins by looking at Genesis 9, the end of the Noah story. what is it exactly that Ham does? why is Canaan (Ham’s son) cursed, and not Ham? we’ll look at some suggested answers.

following this, Genesis 12 introduces Abram, the family of God, and God’s covenant.
