Noah's Shame and Prophetic Blessings

18

Nowe the sonnes of Noah going foorth of the Arke, were Shem and Ham and Iapheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan.

19

These are the three sonnes of Noah, and of them was the whole earth ouerspred.

20

Noah also began to be an husband man and planted a vineyard.

21

And he drunke of ye wine and was drunken, and was vncouered in the middes of his tent.

22

And when Ham the father of Canaan sawe the nakednesse of his father, he tolde his two brethren without.

23

Then tooke Shem and Iapheth a garment, and put it vpon both their shoulders, and went backwarde, and couered the nakednesse of their father with their faces backwarde: so they sawe not their fathers nakednesse.

24

Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him,

25

And said, Cursed be Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall he be vnto his brethren.

26

He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.

27

God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant.
