17 Canaan cursed. Nimrod opposes Jehovah GENESIS 9:17–10:11
CHAP. 9 28 And Noah continued to live
three hundred and fifty years after
the deluge. a 29 So all the
days of Noah amounted to nine
hundred and fifty years and he
died. b
10 Andthisisthehistoryof
Noah’s sons, c Shem, Ham
in the cloud, a and I shall certainly
see it to remember the covenant
to time indefinite b between
God and every living soul among
all flesh that is upon the earth.” c
17 And God repeated to Noah:
“This is the sign of the covenant
that I do establish between
me and all flesh that is upon the
earth.” d
18 And Noah’s sons e who
came out of the ark were Shem
and Ham and Japheth. Later
Ham was the father of Canaan. f
19 These three were Noah’s sons,
and from these was all the earth’s
population spread abroad. g
20 Now Noah started off as a
farmer h and proceeded to plant
a vineyard. i 21 And he began
drinking of the wine and became
intoxicated, j and so he uncovered
himself in the midst of
his tent. 22 Later Ham k the father
of Canaan saw his father’s
nakedness l and went telling
it to his two brothers outside. m
23 At that Shem and Japheth
took a mantle n and put it upon
both their shoulders and walked
in backwards. Thus they covered
their father’s nakedness, while
their faces were turned away, and
they did not see their father’s
nakedness. o
24 Finally Noah awoke from
his wine and got to know what
his youngest son had done to
him. 25 At this he said:
“Cursed be Canaan. p
Let him become the lowest
slave to his brothers.” q
26 And he added:
“Blessed be Jehovah, r Shem’s
God,
And let Canaan become a
slave to him. s
27 Let God grant ample space to
Japheth,
And let him reside in the
tents of Shem. t
Let Canaan become a
slave to him also.”

and Japheth.
Now sons began to be born to
them after the deluge. d 2 The
sons of Japheth were Gomer e
and Magog f and Mada·i g and
Javan h and Tubal i and Meshech
j and Tiras. k
3 And the sons of Gomer
were Ashke·naz l and Riphath m
and To·garmah. n
4 And the sons of Javan
were E·lishah o and Tarshish, p
Kittim q and Doda·nim. r
5 From these the population of
the isles of the nations was
spread about in their lands, each
according to its tongue, according
to their families, by their nations.
6 And the sons of Ham were
Cush s and Mizra·im t and Put u
and Canaan. v
7 And the sons of Cush were
Seba w and Havi·lah and Sabtah
and Raa·mah x and Sabte·ca.
And the sons of Raa·mah
were Sheba and Dedan. y
8 And Cush became father to
Nimrod. z He made the start in
becoming a mighty one in the
earth. 9 He displayed himself
a mighty hunter in opposition
to Jehovah. That is why there is
a saying: “Just like Nimrod a
mighty hunter in opposition to
Jehovah.” a 10 And the beginning
of his kingdom came to be
Babel b and Erech c and Accad
and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
d 11 Out of that land he
went forth into As·syri·a e and
set himself to building Niny
