” And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.” ( Genesis 9:24-26)
Abraham taught the Egyptians mathematics and astronomy, which knowledge he brought from Mesopotamia, where there were many libraries with records from before the Flood. There are Babylonian tablets still being found in this region that make reference to the time before the Flood. There were two routes through Canaan in the days of Abraham- Abraham preferred to take the lonely, difficult road through the mountainous country rather than going through the fertile valleys of the Plain of Jezreel along the coast of Judah, Abraham must have been a mountain man! And thus he escaped the valley people! The ancient city of Mari was supposed to have been the tenth city built after the Flood. Hammurabi’s Armies destroyed the city. The ancient cities like Mari used methods of rapid communication that were as effective as modern telegraph. The messages were sent by means of “fire signals” from the frontier of Babylon right up to the present day Turkey in a matter of a few hours, a distance of more than 300 miles. Abraham passed through such cities. In the days of Abraham and Moses there was a Great Wall guarding the route into Egypt, called “The Princess Wall”. The wall was armed with Archers on the wall and the towers. The wall, it seems, was built shortly after the Flood when Egypt was being founded. A long account of an Egyptian named Sinuhe tells of his problem of getting across the “Princess Wall” and his life and adventures in Canaan, and his eventual return to Egypt. The story was written at the time of Abraham and gives a good idea what life in Canaan was like then.
We are so blessed today to have The Old & New Testament Bible, and to know all the Word that we know, and have Jesus in our hearts and lives. We who have been saved and received Jesus Christ are no longer under any curses !
