How did the descendants of Ham conquer the Jews?

[Samuel Coleridge]

If they are destined to be a slave race as Genesis 9:25 says, how did they manage to do so much?


Ham's grandson was Nimrod.

Gen. 10:9-10 describes Nimrod as He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

As some of us may know, later on the Babylonians would capture and take all of Judah for 70 years as their slaves.

Mizraim Ham's son was the founder of Egypt. The Jews never conquered them, but they did manage to become enslaved by them.

Rarmah is the founder of the Arabian peoples who ruled over the traditional Jewish homeland for longer than the Jews ruled it themselves.

It doesn't seem to me that the Curse of Ham was very powerful considering so many that bear it captured God's "chosen".

Yours in thoughtful reflection,
Sam

Re: How did the descendants of Ham conquer the Jews?

Reading further into the texts, we find another grandson of Ham who ruled over Abraham, the Hittites or the descendants of Heth.

Gen 23:2 Then Abraham rose from beside his dead wife and spoke to the Hittites. He said, 4 "I am an alien and a stranger among you. Sell me some property for a burial site here so I can bury my dead."

I find myself so incredibly confused on the entire matter. Did God not choose the descendants of Shem and Japheth above those of Ham?

How could God's chosen be living under the rule of Hamitic descendancy?
