In context
19These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated. 20Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. 21He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered inside his tent. 22Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it across their shoulders, and walked in backward and covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father naked.
