Genesis 9:18-27
King James Version
18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

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.
