Genesis 9 [Context] [Commentary] 
|
| 18. |
And the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is the father of Canaan. |
| 19. |
These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled. |
| 20. |
In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden. |
| 21. |
And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent. |
| 22. |
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father unclothed, and gave news of it to his two brothers outside. |
| 23. |
And Shem and Japheth took a robe, and putting it on their backs went in with their faces turned away, and put it over their father so that they might not see him unclothed. |
| 24. |
And, awaking from his wine, Noah saw what his youngest son had done to him, and he said, |
| 25. |
Cursed be Canaan; let him be a servant of servants to his brothers. |
| 26. |
And he said, Praise to the Lord, the God of Shem; let Canaan be his servant. |
| 27. |
May God make Japheth great, and let his living-place be in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant. |
| 28. |
And Noah went on living three hundred and fifty years after the great flow of waters; |
| 29. |
all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end. |
