When his youngest son saw this, he came laughing, and showed him to his brethren; but they covered their father's nakedness. And when Noah was made sensible of what had been done, he prayed for prosperity to his other sons; but for Ham, he did not curse him, by reason of his nearness in blood, but cursed his prosperity: and when the rest of them escaped that curse, God inflicted it on the children of Canaan. But as to these matters, we shall speak more hereafter. WHEN HIS YOUNGEST SON SAW THIS HE CAME LAUGHING AND SHOWED HIM TO HIS BRETHREN BUT THEY COVERED THEIR FATHER'S NAKEDNESS AND WHEN NOAH WAS MADE SENSIBLE OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE HE PRAYED FOR PROSPERITY TO HIS OTHER SONS BUT FOR HAM HE DID NOT CURSE HIM BY REASON OF HIS NEARNESS IN BLOOD BUT CURSED HIS PROSPERITY AND WHEN THE REST OF THEM ESCAPED THAT CURSE GOD INFLICTED IT ON THE CHILDREN OF CANAAN BUT AS TO THESE MATTERS WE SHALL SPEAK MORE HEREAFTER

Noah, when, after the deluge, the earth was resettled in its former condition, set about its cultivation; and when he had planted it with vines, and when the fruit was ripe, and he had gathered the grapes in their season, and the wine was ready for use, he offered sacrifice, and feasted, and, being drunk, he fell asleep, and lay naked in an unseemly manner.
