Genesis 9 [Context] [Commentary] 
|
| 18. |
The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan. |
| 19. |
These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated. |
| 20. |
Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard. |
| 21. |
He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent. |
| 22. |
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. |
| 23. |
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness. |
| 24. |
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him. |
| 25. |
He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers." |
| 26. |
He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant. |
| 27. |
May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant." |
| 28. |
Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood. |
| 29. |
All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died. |
