Genesis 9:22-27

22HamH2526, the fatherH1 of CanaanH3667, 1sawH7200 the nakednessH6172 of his fatherH1, and toldH5046 his twoH8147 brothersH251 outsideH2351. 23But ShemH8035 and JaphethH3315 tookH3947 a garmentH8071 and laidH7760 it on bothH8147 their shouldersH7926 and walkedH1980 backwardH322 and coveredH3680 the nakednessH6172 of their fatherH1; and their facesH6440 were 2turnedH322 awayH322, so that they did not seeH7200 their father’sH1 nakednessH6172. 24When NoahH5146 awokeH3364 from his wineH3196, he knewH3045 whatH834 his youngestH6996 sonH1121 had doneH6213 to him. 25So he saidH559, “3CursedH779 be CanaanH3667; 45A servantH5650 of servantsH5650 He shall be to his brothersH251.” 26He also saidH559, “6BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, The GodH430 of ShemH8035; And may CanaanH3667 be 7his servantH5650.278May GodH430 enlargeH6601 JaphethH3315, And may he liveH7931 in the tentsH168 of ShemH8035; And may CanaanH3667 be 9his servantH5650.”
