24 When Noah sobered up and learned what his youngest son 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.
27 I pray God will give Japhethmore and more landand let him take overthe territory of Shem.May Canaan be his slave.”
28 Noah lived 350 years after the flood
29 and died at the age of 950.
