Genesis 9:18-23

18Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and 1Ham was the father of Canaan. 19These three were the sons of Noah, and 2from these the whole earth was 3populated.

20Then Noah began 4farming and planted a vineyard. 21He drank of the wine and 5became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22Ham, the father of Canaan, 6saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were 7turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
