From the Kebra Nagast :
"... And again, after the Flood, the Devil, our Enemy, did not cease
from his hostility against the children of Noah, but stirred up Canaan, the
son of Ham, and he became the violent tyrant (or usurper) who rent the
kingdom from the children of Shem. Now they had divided the earth
among them, and Noah had made them swear by the Name of his God that
they would not encroach on each other’s boundaries, and would not eat the
beast that had died of itself or had been rent [by wild animals], and that
they would not cultivate harlotry against the law, lest God should again
become angry with them and punish them with a Flood. "
