Genesis 9:18-27

18And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.

19These three are the sons of Noah; and from these was [the population of] the whole earth spread abroad.

20And Noah began [to be] a husbandman, and planted a vineyard.

21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he uncovered himself in his tent.

22And Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren outside.

23And Shem and Japheth took the upper garment and both laid [it] upon their shoulders, and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned away, that they saw not their father's nakedness.

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and learned what his youngest son had done to him.

25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; Let him be a bondman of bondmen to his brethren.

26And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the 1God of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.

27Let 2God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be his bondman.
