18The sons of Noah who came out from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.19These three were the sons of Noah, and from these all the land was dispersed.20Noah, a man of the land, began to plant a vineyard.21He drank from the wine, became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.22Ham the father of Canaan saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.23Shem and Japheth took the mantle, placed it on the shoulders of the two of them, walked backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned backwards, and they did not see the nakedness of their father.24Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him.25He said, "Cursed be Canaan; he shall be a servant of servants to his brothers."26He said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem, and let Canaan be a servant to them."27May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be a servant to them.28Noah lived after the flood three hundred fifty years.29All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and he died.
