MEDITATION

Genesis 9:18-23

18 Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
21 Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

《创世记 9:18-23》
18 出方舟挪亚的儿子就是闪、含、雅弗,含是迦南的父亲。
19 这是挪亚的三个儿子,他们的后裔分散在全地。
20 挪亚做起农夫来,栽了一个葡萄园。
21 他喝了园中的酒便醉了,在帐篷里赤着身子。
22 迦南的父亲含看见他父亲赤身,就到外边告诉他两个弟兄。

23 于是闪和雅弗拿件衣服搭在肩上,倒退着进去,给他父亲盖上,他们背着脸就看不见父亲的赤身。
