Bereshis 9:18-27

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ And the bnei Noach, that went forth of the tevah, were Shem, and Cham, and Yephet; and Cham is the av of Kena’an (Canaan).

¹⁹ Shloshah (Three) are the bnei Noach; and of them was the kol ha’aretz populated.

²⁰ And Noach began to be an ish ha’adamah (a man of the soil), and he planted a kerem (vineyard);

²¹ And he drank of the yayin, and became shikker (intoxicated); and he lay uncovered inside his ohel.

²² And Cham, the av of Kena’an, saw the erom (nakedness) of his av, and told his two achim on the outside.

²³ And Shem and Yephet took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward, and covered the erom of their av; and their faces were turned the other way, and they saw not the erom of their av.

²⁴ And Noach awoke from his yayin, and had da’as of what his ben katan had done unto him.

²⁵ And he said, Arur (cursed) be Kena’an; an eved of avadim shall he be unto his achim.

²⁶ And he said, Baruch Hashem Elohei Shem; and Kena’an shall be his eved.

²⁷ Elohim shall enlarge Yephet, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Kena’an shall be his eved.
