Genesis 9:25

Verse 25 of 29. The 9th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

21He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

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

23Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.

24Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

25He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”

26He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

27May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.”

28Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

29All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
