20. And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,
21. and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.
22. And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.
23. And Shem taketh--Japheth also--the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.
24. And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,
25. and saith: `Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'
26. And he saith: `Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
27. God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'
