20 Noah farmed the land and was the first to plant a vineyard.
21 One day he got drunk and was lying naked in his tent.
22 Ham entered the tent and saw him naked, then went back outside and told his brothers.
23 Shem and Japheth put a robe over their shoulders and walked backwards into the tent. Without looking at their father, they placed it over his body.
24 When Noah woke up and learnt what his youngest son Ham had done,
25 he said,“I now put a curse on Canaan!He will be the lowest slaveof his brothers.
26 I ask the Lord my Godto bless Shemand make Canaan his slave.
