Noah's Shame and Prophetic Blessings

18

And the sons of Noe, who came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, and Japheth: and Cham is the father of Chanaan.

19

These three are the sons of Noe: and from these was all mankind spread over the whole earth.

20

And Noe a husbandman began to till the ground, and planted a vineyard.

21

And drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.

22

Which when Cham the father of Chanaan had seen, to wit, that his father's nakedness was uncovered, he told it to his two brethren without.

23

But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father: and their faces were turned away, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

24

And Noe awaking from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him,

25

He said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26

And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant.

27

May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant.
