Genesis 9:20-28
20Then Noah began 1farming and planted a vineyard. 21He drank of the wine and 2became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22Ham, the father of Canaan, 3saw 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 4turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25So he said, “5Cursed be Canaan; 67A servant of servants He shall be to his brothers.” 26He also said, “8Blessed be the Lord, The God of Shem; And let Canaan be 9his servant.2710May God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be 11his servant.”
28Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.
