¹⁸ The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

¹⁹ These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.

²⁰ Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

²¹ He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

²² Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

²³ Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.

²⁴ Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

²⁵ He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."

²⁶ He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

²⁷ May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."

²⁸ Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
