20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: |
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. |
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. |
23 And 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. |
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. |
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. |
26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. |
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. |
