18Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan. 19These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.

20Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard. 21He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it on both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25So he said,

“Cursed be Canaan;
A servant of servants
He shall be to his brothers.”

26He also said,

“Blessed be the Lord,
The God of Shem;
And may Canaan be his servant.
27“May God enlarge Japheth,
And may he live in the tents of Shem;
And may Canaan be his servant.”

28Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 29So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
