Genesis 9:18-29

18Noah’s sons who came out from the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth, and Ham was the father of Canaan.

19These three were Noah’s sons, and from these the whole earth dispersed.

20Then Noah, a man of the soil, was first to plant a vineyard.

21He drank some of the wine, got drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.

22Then Ham, Canaan’s father, saw his father’s private parts and told his two brothers outside.

23So Shem and Japheth took the cloak and laid it over both their shoulders and walked backwards and with it covered their father’s private parts. But their faces were turned away, so they did not see their father’s private parts.

24When Noah woke up from his wine, he learned what his youngest son had done to him.

25So he said, “Cursed is Canaan: the lowest slave will he be to his brothers.”

26He also said, “Blessed be Adonai, God of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant.

27May God enlarge Japheth, may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.”

28Now Noah lived 350 years after the flood.

29So all Noah’s days were 950 years. Then he died.
