NASB | Genesis 9:23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father's nakedness. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 9:23 So Shem and Japheth took a robe and put it on both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father's nakedness. |
Bible Question: Why Noah curse Ham for covering his nakeness? |
Bible Answer: Ham and Canaan did not cover Noah; Shem and Japeth did. Ham and Canaan were cursed for something they did to Noah. We do not know the details -- and everything I've read is just speculation -- but it was necessarily something more than just looking at him (see verse 24). |
