# General Information:
In verses 25-27 Noah pronounced a curse on Ham's son and blessings on Ham's brothers. What Noah said about them also applied to their descendants, as shown in the UDB. Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in Noah's curse and blessings in verses 25-27.
# Cursed be Canaan
"I curse Canaan" or "May bad things happen to Canaan"
# Canaan
This was one of Ham's sons. Alternate translation: "Ham's son Canaan"
# a servant to his brothers' servants
"the lowest servant of his brothers" or "the least important servant of his brothers"
# his brothers
This could refer either to Canaan's brothers or to his relatives in general.
