22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.

Genesis 9:20-29 (NIV)
“20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, 25 he said,
“Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers.”
26 He also said,
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. 27 May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.”
Today’s SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 9 For 15 March 2024
Encouragement: This passage recounts an incident involving Noah after the flood. Noah, a man of the soil, planted a vineyard and became drunk from its wine. In his drunkenness, he lay uncovered inside his tent. Ham, one of Noah’s sons, saw his father’s nakedness and told his brothers.
The response of Shem and Japheth, the other two sons, reflects respect and honor. They took a garment, walked backward to avoid seeing their father’s nakedness, and covered him. When Noah woke up and learned about Ham’s actions, he pronounced a curse on Ham’s son Canaan and spoke blessings over Shem and Japheth.
This passage highlights themes of respect, honor, and the consequences of dishonoring parents. It also demonstrates the significance of family relationships and the impact of actions on future generations.
May this scripture prompt reflection on the importance of treating others with respect and honor, especially within family relationships. If you have any specific questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to explore, feel free to let me know! Today’s SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 9 For 15 March 2024
