23 Então Sem e Jafé tomaram a roupa, e a puseram sobre seus próprios ombros, e andando para trás, cobriram a nudez de seu pai tendo seus rostos virados, e assim não viram a nudez de seu pai.

24 E despertou Noé de seu vinho, e soube o que havia feito com ele seu filho o mais jovem;

25 E disse: Maldito seja Canaã; Servo de servos será a seus irmãos.

26 Disse mais: Bendito o SENHOR o Deus de Sem, E seja-lhe Canaã servo.
