--Genesis-- And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: (9:20) And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. (9:21) And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. (9:22) 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. (9:23) And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. (9:24) And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. (9:25) And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. (9:26) God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. (9:27) |
