1Hashem blessed Noach and his sons, and said to them, “Be fertile and increase, and fill the earth.

12Hashem further said, “This is the sign that I set for the covenant between Me and you, and every living creature with you, for all ages to come.

18The sons of Noach who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth—Ham being the father of Canaan.

19These three were the sons of Noach, and from these the whole world branched out.

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

23But Shem and Japheth took a cloth, placed it against both their backs and, walking backward, they covered their father's nakedness; their faces were turned the other way, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.
