Genesis 9:20-29 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

20. And Noaḥ, a man of the soil, began and planted a vineyard.

21. And he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.

22. And Ḥam, the father of Kena‛an, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

23. So Shĕm and Yepheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father, but their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

24. And Noaḥ awoke from his wine, and he knew what his younger son had done to him,

25. and he said, “Cursed is Kena‛an, let him become a servant of servants to his brothers.”

26. And he said, “Blessed be יהוה, the Elohim of Shĕm, and let Kena‛an become his servant.

27. “Let Elohim enlarge Yepheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shĕm. And let Kena‛an become his servant.”

28. And Noaḥ lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

29. So all the days of Noaḥ were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
