The Sons of Noah

Genesis 9:18~29

 

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of the Canaan.)

19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth.

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent.

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

23 But Shem and Japhethtook a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backyard and covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father’s nakedness.

24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him,

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

26 He also said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem.

27 May God extend the territory of Japheth; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.“

28-29 After the flood Noah lived 359 years. All together, Noah lived 950 years, and then he died.
