16. And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
17. And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh upon the earth.
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 Chaanan 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 Chaanan, 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.
28. And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years:
29. And all his days were in the whole nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
