Genesis 9:18-23
New American Standard Bible
18 Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth; and (A)Ham was the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and (B)from these the whole earth was [a]populated.
20 Then Noah began [b]farming and planted a vineyard. 21 He drank some of the wine and (C)became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, (D)saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it on both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were [c]turned away, so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.
