Genesis 9:18-29

Noah’s Three Sons

18Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and aHam was the father of Canaan. 19These three were the sons of Noah, and afrom these the whole earth was scattered abroad.
20Then Noah began to be 1a man of the land and planted a vineyard. 21And he drank of the wine and abecame drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22Then Ham, the father of Canaan, asaw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 23But Shem and Japheth took the garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24Then Noah awoke from his wine, and he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25So he said, aCursed be Canaan;1,bA servant of servantsHe shall be to his brothers.”
26And he said, aBlessed be Yahweh,The God of Shem;And let Canaan be 1his servant.
27aMay God enlarge Japheth,And let him dwell in the tents of Shem;And let Canaan be 1his servant.”
28And Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 29So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
