| 18 | The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth; Ham was the father of Canaan. | Noah and his sons. Gn.9.18-29 | וַיִּהְיוּ בְנֵי־נֹחַ הַיֹּצְאִים מִן־הַתֵּבָה שֵׁם וְחָם וָיָפֶת וְחָם הוּא אֲבִי כְנָעַן׃ |
| 19 | These three were the sons of Noah, and their descendants spread over the whole earth. | שְׁלֹשָׁה אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי־נֹחַ וּמֵאֵלֶּה נָפְצָה כָל־הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
| 20 | Noah, a man of the soil, began the planting of vineyards. | וַיָּחֶל נֹחַ אִישׁ הָאֲדָמָה וַיִּטַּע כָּרֶם׃ | |
| 21 | He drank some of the wine, became drunk and lay naked inside his tent. | וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִן־הַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁכָּר וַיִּתְגַּל בְּתֹוךְ אָהֳלֹה׃ | |
| 22 | When Ham, father of Canaan, saw his father naked, he told his two brothers outside. | וַיַּרְא חָם אֲבִי כְנַעַן אֵת עֶרְוַת אָבִיו וַיַּגֵּד לִשְׁנֵי־אֶחָיו בַּחוּץ׃ | |
| 23 | So Shem and Japheth took a cloak, put it on their shoulders and walked backwards, and so covered their father's naked body; their faces were turned the other way, so that they did not see their father naked. | וַיִּקַּח שֵׁם וָיֶפֶת אֶת־הַשִּׂמְלָה וַיָּשִׂימוּ עַל־שְׁכֶם שְׁנֵיהֶם וַיֵּלְכוּ אֲחֹרַנִּית וַיְכַסּוּ אֵת עֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם וּפְנֵיהֶם אֲחֹרַנִּית וְעֶרְוַת אֲבִיהֶם לֹא רָאוּ׃ | |
| 24 | When Noah woke from his drunken sleep, he learnt what his youngest son had done to him, | וַיִּיקֶץ נֹחַ מִיֵּינֹו וַיֵּדַע אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה־לֹו בְּנֹו הַקָּטָן׃ | |
| 25 | and said:
slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers.' | וַיֹּאמֶר אָרוּר כְּנָעַן עֶבֶד עֲבָדִים יִהְיֶה לְאֶחָיו׃ | |
| 26 | And he continued:
the tents of Shem; prob. rdg, Heb. Blessed is the LORD the God of Shem may Canaan be his slave. | וַיֹּאמֶר בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָמֹו׃ | |
| 27 | May God extend Heb. japht Japheth's bounds, let him dwell in the tents of Shem, may Canaan be their slave.' | יַפְתְּ אֱלֹהִים לְיֶפֶת וְיִשְׁכֹּן בְּאָהֳלֵי־שֵׁם וִיהִי כְנַעַן עֶבֶד לָמֹו׃ | |
| 28 | After the flood Noah lived for three hundred and fifty years, | וַיְחִי־נֹחַ אַחַר הַמַּבּוּל שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאֹות שָׁנָה וַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה׃ | |
| 29 | and he was nine hundred and fifty years old when he died. | וַיִּהְיוּ כָּל־יְמֵי־נֹחַ תְּשַׁע מֵאֹות שָׁנָה וַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה וַיָּמֹת׃ ף | |
