The first chapter of the Book of Abraham contains a short detail about Pharaoh, the king of Egypt being "a descendant from the loins of Ham, and a partaker of the blood of the Canaanites by birth” (Abr. 1:21). This detail may appear odd at first glance but might make some historical sense for Abraham’s time and circumstances.
