<li>Canaan – Most of these sources maintain that this refers to Canaan, the youngest son of Cham. As evidence, they point to the order of sons mentioned in the genealogy list in 10:6, "וּבְנֵי חָם כּוּשׁ וּמִצְרַיִם וּפוּט וּכְנָעַן." According to Seforno Canaan is called Noach's son, despite his being his grandson, because 'בְּנֵי בָּנִי הֲרֵי הֵם כְּבָנִים', (a person's grandsons are like his sons). R. Yosef Kara and Ibn Ezra assert, in contrast, that the "וי"ו" of "בְּנוֹ" refers back to Cham.1</li>
