9:17 So God said to Noah, “This is the guarantee of the covenant that I am confirming between me and all living things ⁶  that are on the earth.”

9:18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Now Ham was the father of Canaan.) ⁷  9:19 These were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated. ⁸ 

9:20 Noah, a man of the soil, ⁹  began to plant a vineyard. ¹⁰  9:21 When he drank some of the wine, he got drunk and uncovered himself ¹¹  inside his tent. 9:22 Ham, the father of Canaan, ¹²  saw his father’s nakedness ¹³  and told his two brothers who were outside. 9:23 Shem and Japheth took the garment ¹⁴  and placed it on their shoulders. Then they walked in backwards and covered up their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned ¹⁵  the other way so they did not see their father’s nakedness.

9:24 When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor ¹⁶  he learned ¹⁷  what his youngest son had done ¹⁸  to him. 9:25 So he said,

“Cursed ¹⁹  be Canaan! ²⁰ 

The lowest of slaves ²¹ 

he will be to his brothers.”

9:26 He also said,

“Worthy of praise is ²²  the Lord, the God of Shem!

May Canaan be the slave of Shem! ²³ 

9:27 May God enlarge Japheth’s territory and numbers! ²⁴ 

May he live ²⁵  in the tents of Shem

and may Canaan be his slave!”

9:28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 9:29 The entire lifetime of Noah was 950 years, and then he died.

10:1 This is the account ²⁶  of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons ²⁷  were born ²⁸  to them after the flood.

10:2 The sons of Japheth ²⁹  were Gomer, ³⁰  Magog, ³¹  Madai, ³²  Javan, ³³  Tubal, ³⁴  Meshech, ³⁵  and Tiras. ³⁶  10:3 The sons of Gomer were ³⁷  Askenaz, ³⁸  Riphath, ³⁹  and Togarmah. ⁴⁰  10:4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, ⁴¹  Tarshish, ⁴²  the Kittim, ⁴³  and the Dodanim. ⁴⁴  10:5 From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to its language, according to their families, by their nations.

10:6 The sons of Ham were Cush, ⁴⁵  Mizraim, ⁴⁶  Put, ⁴⁷  and Canaan. ⁴⁸  10:7 The sons of Cush were Seba, ⁴⁹  Havilah, ⁵⁰  Sabtah, ⁵¹  Raamah, ⁵²  and Sabteca. ⁵³  The sons of Raamah were Sheba ⁵⁴  and Dedan. ⁵⁵ 

10:8 Cush was the father of ⁵⁶  Nimrod; he began to be a valiant warrior on the earth. 10:9 He was a mighty hunter ⁵⁷  before the Lord. ⁵⁸  (That is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.”)
