20 And Noah began to till the ground; and he planted a vineyard; 21 And he drank of its wine, and became drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and he told his two brothers outside. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a mantle and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward and they did not see their father's nakedness. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done to him, 25 He said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers. 26 Then he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and let Canaan be his servant. 27 God shall enrich Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem: and Canaan shall be their servant. 28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
