Noah 의 세 아들 중 하나이다.
Noah was five hundred years old, then Noah became the father of Shem , Ham, and Japheth .
노아의 홍수 때 방주를 만들고 아내와 함께 방주에 탔다.
In the same day Noah , and Shem , Ham, and Japheth —the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
홍수가 끝난 뒤에 방주에서 나온 그들은 씨를 뿌리고 생활을 시작했는데, 노아는 포도주를 마시고 취해 잠들었다.
이 때에
함 은 노아를 업신여겨 형제들에게 아버지의 허물을 이야기한 반면 야벳과 셈은 아버지의 겉옷을 들고 뒷걸음쳐 들어가 아버지를 덮어주었다.
19 These three were the sons of Noah , and from these the whole earth was populated.
20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
22 Ham, the father of Canaan , saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.
23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn’t see their father’s nakedness.
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
25 He said, “Canaan is cursed. He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.”
26 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem . Let Canaan be his servant.
27 May God enlarge Japheth . Let him dwell in the tents of Shem . Let Canaan be his servant.”
