24When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.

25And he said, “Canaan is cursed; he shall be a servant of servants to his brothers.”

26And he said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem, and let Canaan be their servant.”

27May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and let Canaan be a servant to them.

28After the flood, Noah lived three hundred and fifty years.

29So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
