Genesis 9:15-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that enlivens flesh. And there will no longer be waters from a great flood to wipe away all that is flesh.

16. And the arc will be in the clouds, and I will see it, and I will remember the everlasting covenant that was enacted between God and every living soul of all that is flesh upon the earth."

17. And God said to Noah, "This will be the sign of the covenant that I have established between myself and all that is flesh upon the earth."

18. And so the sons of Noah, who came out of the ark, were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now Ham himself is the father of Canaan.

19. These three are the sons of Noah. And from these all the family of mankind was spread over the whole earth.

20. And Noah, a good farmer, began to cultivate the land, and he planted a vineyard.

21. And by drinking its wine, he became inebriated and was naked in his tent.

22. Because of this, when Ham, the father of Canaan, had indeed seen the privates of his father to be naked, he reported it to his two brothers outside.
