The reading for Tuesday, January 3, 2023 , is Genesis 9 - 11
Today's reading: Genesis 9 - 11 God's covenant with Noah, Noah's drunkenness, the the table of Noah's sons' descendants, the Tower of Babel, Shem's family line, Abram's family Here we see the first rainbow! I have always been puzzled and troubled by Noah's response to Ham's seeing him naked. I don't see it as that big of deal. Is it because Ham told his brothers instead of fixing the situation himself? I can see that it's embarrassing for Noah, but he's still the one who got himself into that situation. I am also deeply saddened to think how these few verses have been used to justify the enslavement of persons of color.
