Genesis 9:23-27

23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.1

27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.2
