Genesis 9:18, 25 KJV
And the sons of Noah, that went forth
of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.
[v25] So he [Noah] said, "Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants he shall be to his
brothers."

Marin Paraphrase:
[Noah} saying, "Be cursed Canaan, as the lowest
[Noah} saying, "Be cursed Canaan, as the lowest
slave-manservant on all bondage sides in kindred
brothren."
As I see it, the bondage wasn't to serve their brothers,
but a class of merchants who would completely and
totally work within the confines of sin's bondage on
all sides, i.e., no escape.
What bondage of servile service to sin was enacted by
Noah? The definition from Strong's H3667 for
Canaan (Kana`an or ken·ah'·an) became equal to:
merchant, traffick, traffickers, lowland, trader
The take-away evokes a sence of low-life always
greedy, actively seeking the lowest common
denominator to engage in economic trades so
as to maximize profits without regard to moral
or ethical principles.
Perhaps this was the basis of the ST:NG people
known as the Ferengi. The etymology"Ferengi"
and similar terms are Arabic names for European
traders, or for Westerners in general. The name
is likely derived from the Arabic word faranj or
ifranj, or Persian farangi, meaning "Franks".

How does a Merchant qualify as a low-life?
They steal what doesn't belong to them and
carve out for themselves a false image of being
successful using money, power and corruption
to hide behind.
