Vadim:

You wrote, "Take Gen 9:26, which Harold brings forward as the most relevant
to singular. Canaan will the slave of Shem. Of course, Noah does not speak of
one person becoming a slave to another, but rather of their posterity. The
collective plural of the people of Shem is lmo."

Verses 26 and 27 here say nothing about the posterity, just the individuals
are named. Saying that it refers to the posterity is not exegesis, but
eisegesis, where you are adding to the text.

I thought you said that adding to the text is improper.

Karl W. Randolph.
