rsv@Genesis:9:21 @ and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent.
rsv@Genesis:9:22 @ And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
rsv@Genesis:9:23 @ Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

rsv@Genesis:9:25 @ he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers."
rsv@Genesis:9:26 @ He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave.
