Génesis 9:18-23

18 Los hijos de Noé
Los hijos de Noé que salieron de la barca con su padre fueron Sem, Cam y Jafet (Cam es el padre de Canaán).

19 De estos tres hijos de Noé provienen todas las personas que ahora pueblan la tierra.

20 Después del diluvio, Noé comenzó a cultivar la tierra y plantó un viñedo.

21 Cierto día, bebió del vino que había hecho y se emborrachó, y estaba recostado y desnudo dentro de su carpa.

22 Cam, el padre de Canaán, vio que su padre estaba desnudo y salió a contárselo a sus hermanos.

23 Entonces Sem y Jafet tomaron un manto, se lo pusieron sobre los hombros y entraron de espaldas a la carpa para cubrir a su padre. Mientras lo hacían, miraban para otro lado a fin de no ver a su padre desnudo.

Génesis 9:18-23 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 9

In this chapter we have an account of God's blessing Noah and his sons, being just come out of the ark, with a renewal of the blessing of propagating their species, and replenishing the earth, the dominion over the creatures, and a freedom from the fear of them; with liberty to eat flesh, only it must not be eaten with blood; with a providential care and preservation of their lives from men and beasts, by making a law that that man or beast should die that shed man's blood, Ge 9:1-6 and after repeating the blessing of procreation, Ge 9:7 mention is made of a covenant God made with Noah, his sons, and all the creatures, that he would drown the world no more, the token of which should be the rainbow in the cloud, Ge 9:8-17 the names of the sons of Noah are observed, by whom the earth was repeopled, Ge 9:18,19 and seem to be observed for the sake of an event after recorded; Noah having planted a vineyard, and drank too freely of the wine of it, lay down uncovered in his tent, which Ham seeing, told his two brothers of it, who in a very modest manner covered him, Ge 9:20-23 of all which Noah being sensible when he awoke, cursed Canaan the son of Ham, and blessed Shem and Japheth, Ge 9:24-27 and the chapter is concluded with the age and death of Noah, Ge 9:28,29.
