Genesis 9:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 9:24

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

23 ^aBut Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were¹ turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

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

25 Then he said:
^a“Cursed be Canaan;
A ^bservant of servants
He shall be to his brethren.”

26 And he said:
^a“Blessed be the Lord,
The God of Shem,
And may Canaan be his servant.

27 May God ^aenlarge Japheth,
^bAnd may he dwell in the tents of Shem;
And may Canaan be his servant.”
