23 Šem i Jafet uzmu ogrtač, obojica ga prebace sebi preko ramena pa njime, idući natraške, pokriju očevu golotinju. Lica im bijahu okrenuta na drugu stranu, tako te ne vidješe oca gola.

1095. Verse 26. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. “Blessed be Jehovah the God of Shem” signifies every good for those who worship the Lord from internals; “Shem” is the internal church; “and Canaan shall be his servant” signifies that such as make worship consist solely in externals are among those who may perform vile services to the men of the church.
