The background for Ham's lineage, including Misrajim, is linked to the event where Noah cursed Canaan after the Flood.
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. hebr וַיִּֽהְי֣וּ בְנֵי־נֹ֗חַ הַיֹּֽצְאִים֙ מִן־הַתֵּבָ֔ה שֵׁ֖ם וְחָ֣ם וָיָ֑פֶת וְחָ֕ם ה֖וּא אֲבִ֥י כְנָֽעַן׃
19 These three were Noah's sons, and from them the whole earth was populated. hebr שְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵי־נֹ֑חַ וּמֵאֵ֖לֶּה נָֽפְצָ֥ה כָל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
20 Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. hebr וַיָּ֥חֶל נֹ֖חַ אִ֣ישׁ הֽ͏ָאֲדָמָ֑ה וַיִּטַּ֖ע כָּֽרֶם׃
21 He drank some of the wine, became drunk, and lay uncovered inside his tent. hebr וַיֵּ֥שְׁתְּ מִן־הַיַּ֖יִן וַיִּשְׁכָּ֑ר וַיִּתְגַּ֖ל בְּת֥וֹךְ אָהֳלֹֽה׃
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. hebr וַיַּ֗רְא חָ֚ם אֲבִ֣י כְנַ֔עַן אֵ֖ת עֶרְוַ֣ת אָבִ֑יו וַיַּגֵּ֥ד לִשְׁנֵֽי־אֶחָ֖יו בַּחֽוּץ׃
25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan! He will be the lowest of slaves to his brothers." hebr וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אָר֣וּר כְּנָ֑עַן עֶ֥בֶד עֲבָדִ֖ים יִֽהְיֶ֥ה לְאֶחָֽיו׃
Misrajim and his descendants were part of the dispersion of the nations over the earth after the Flood, as described in the table of nations.
32 These are the clans of Noah's sons, according to their family lines, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood. hebr אֵ֣לֶּה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֧ת בְּנֵי־נֹ֛חַ לְתוֹלְדֹתָ֖ם בְּגוֹיֵהֶ֑ם וּמֵאֵ֜לֶּה נִפְרְד֧וּ הַגּוֹיִ֛ם בָּאָ֖רֶץ אַחַ֥ר הַמַּבּֽוּל׃ פ
