Genesis 9:22-25 ▼

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness, and he told his two brothers outside.

23 Shem and Japheth, however, took a robe, and holding it on their shoulders, they walked backward and covered their father’s nakedness; since their faces were turned the other way, they did not see their father’s nakedness.

24 When Noah woke up from his wine and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

25 he said: “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers.”
