Noah’s Three Sons

¹⁸ Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and ^(A)Ham was the father of Canaan. ¹⁹ These three were the sons of Noah, and ^(B)from these the whole earth was scattered abroad.

²⁰ Then Noah began to be ^[a]a man of the land and planted a vineyard. ²¹ And he drank of the wine and ^(C)became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent. ²² Then Ham, the father of Canaan, ^(D)saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. ²³ But Shem and Japheth took the garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned backward, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
