Genesis 9:18-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Noah and His Sons
18 The sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.(A) 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was peopled.(B)
20 Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. 21 He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.(C) 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
“Cursed be Canaan;
lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers.”(D)
26 He also said,
“Blessed by the Lord my God be Shem,
and let Canaan be his slave.(E)
27 May God make space for Japheth,[a]
and let him live in the tents of Shem,
and let Canaan be his slave.”(F)
28 After the flood Noah lived three hundred fifty years. 29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and he died.

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. 24 When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him. 25 So he said,
26 He also said,
“(G)Blessed be the Lord,
The God of Shem;
And may Canaan be [e]his servant.
27 (H)May God enlarge Japheth,
And may he live in the tents of Shem;
And may Canaan be [f]his servant.”
28 Noah lived 350 years after the flood. 29 So all the days of Noah were 950 years, and he died.
