The Canaanites were also known as the Phoenicians. While we are bombarded with images of white Canaanites, their art tells a different story. The art shows them with black faces, which also matches the Biblical teaching that Ham's descendants were black. "And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan." - Genesis 9:18 Please Take A Moment To Share If you enjoyed this study, please take a moment to click the button below and share it.
