18 Noah’s sons who came out of the wooden chest after the flood were Yafet (Japheth), Shem, and Ham. (Ham became Canaan’s father). 19 They were Noah’s three sons and from them the whole earth became populated.

20 After a while, Noah, who was a farmer, planted some grape vines, 21 and in due course he drank some of his wine and got drunk, and he fell asleep naked in his tent. 22 Then Ham (Canaan’s father) saw his father’s nakedness then went outside and told his brothers what he’d seen. 23 So Shem and Yafet took a robe, and holding it between their shoulders they walked backwards into the tent and covered their father’s nakedness. (Their faces were towards the tent entrance, so they didn’t see his nakedness.) 24 Eventually, Noah woke up from his drunken sleep and found out what his youngest son (Ham) had done to him 25 and said, “May Canaan be cursed and become a slave of slaves to his brothers!” 26 Then he added, “Praise Yahweh who’s Shem’s God. May Canaan become Shem’s slave. 27 May God expand Yafet’s territory and may he live in Shem’s tents. May Canaan also become a slave of Yafet.”

28 After the flood, Noah lived another 350 years, 29 and so he was 950 years old when he died.
