Genesis 9:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ When he drank some of the wine, it made him drunk. Then he lay down inside his tent without any clothes on. ²² Ham saw his father naked. Then Ham, the father of Canaan, went outside and told his two brothers. ²³ But Shem and Japheth picked up a piece of clothing and laid it across their shoulders. Then they walked backward into the tent. They covered their father’s body. They turned their faces away because they didn’t want to see their father naked.
