Genesis 9:18-29

18And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham was the father of Canaan.1 19These three were the sons of Noah: and from them was the whole earth overspread. 20And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard: 21And he drank of the wine, and was drunk; and he was uncovered within 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 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 to him. 25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren. 26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.2 27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.3

28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
