20 Noah began to be a man of the soil, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Then he drank some of the wine and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 So Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done to him,
25 he said,“Canaan be cursed!He will be a servant of servantsto his brothers.”
26 He also said, “Blessed be the Lord God of Shem,and let Canaan be his servant.
