20 Noah started to cultivate the ground as a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
21 He drank some of the wine he'd produced, got drunk, and fell asleep in his tent, naked.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's private parts and went and told his two brothers who were outside.
23 Shem and Japheth picked up a cloak and, holding it over their shoulders, walked in backwards and covered up their father's privates. They made sure to look the other way so they wouldn't see their father's privates.
24 When Noah woke up from his drunken sleep, he discovered what his youngest son had done,
25 and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!”
26 Then Noah continued, “May the Lord be blessed, the God of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.
27 May God give Japheth plenty of space to accommodate his many descendants, and may they live at peace among Shem's people, and may Canaan also be his slave.”
Le premier signe d'alliance L'arc-en-ciel apparaît pour la première fois dans la Bible comme un signe d'alliance : Dieu le place dans le ciel après le déluge pour promettre qu'il ne détruira plus jamais la terre par les eaux (Genèse 9:13-15).
