Genesis 9:18–29

¹⁸And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: ^qand Ham is the father of Canaan. ¹⁹These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. ²⁰And Noah began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: ²¹and he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. ²²And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 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 unto him. ²⁵And he said,

^rCursed be Canaan;

^sA servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

²⁶And he said,

Blessed be ^tthe Lord God of Shem;

And Canaan shall be his servant.

²⁷God shall enlarge Japheth,

And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem;

And Canaan shall be his servant.

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.
