Genesis 9:18-29

New American Standard Bible

18Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; andHam was the father of Canaan.19These threewerethe sons of Noah, andfrom these the whole earth was populated.

20Then Noah beganfarming and planted a vineyard.21He drank some of the wine andbecame drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.22Ham, the father of Canaan,saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.23But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it on both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces wereturned away, so that they did not see their fathers nakedness.24When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.25So he said,

Cursed be Canaan;A servant of servantsHe shall be to his brothers.

26He also said,

Blessed be theLord,The God of Shem;And may Canaan be his servant.27May God enlarge Japheth,And may he live in the tents of Shem;And may Canaan behis servant.

28Noah lived 350 years after the flood.29So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
