Ngaphandle kwezingxenye ezingaphezu kwezingxenye ezintathu kwezine zamagama ayisigidi eBhayibhelini, izigqila ezingamaKristu-futhi uma zibuzwa, iningi labaphathi bezigqila laliyozichaza ngokuthi liyiKrestu-linamatheksthi amabili ayizintandokazi, eyodwa kusukela ekuqaleni kweTestamente Elidala kanti enye ekupheleni kweTestamente Elisha. Ngamazwi e-King James Bible, eyayiyi-version manje, lawa, okokuqala, uGenesise IX, 18-27:
"Amadodana kaNowa aphuma emkhunjini kwakunguShemu, uHamu noJafete; uHamu wazala uKhanani. Lawa angamadodana amathathu kaNowa: futhi umhlaba wonke wawusakazeka kuwo wonke umhlaba.

Kwakwamukelwe futhi ukuthi igama lesiLatini elithi servus, evame ukuhunyushwa njengenceku, isigqila esho ngempela.
