New Testament

Genesis 9:14-27 American Standard Version (ASV)

14. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud,

15. and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

18. And the sons of Noah, that went forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.

19. These three were the sons of Noah: and of these was the whole earth overspread.

20. And Noah began to be a husbandman, and planted a vineyard:

21. and he drank of the wine, and was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent.

22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

23. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

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

25. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

26. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.

27. God enlarge Japheth, And let him dwell in the tents of Shem; And let Canaan be his servant.
