Restored English Translation of Genesis: Chapter 9
Here is my Restored English Translation (RET) of Beresheet (Genesis) chapter 9. As usual, it contains the Hebrew names and the Aleph Tavs (although I now doubt them). A glossary of the Hebrew names used can be found at the end.
This chapter contains the infamous incident of Noah getting drunk, and Ham spotting him. This incident is very strange; verses 20-27 read (RET): “20 And Noach [Noah] began to be a man of the ground, and planted a vineyard. 21 And he drank from the wine, and was drunk. And he stripped himself inside his tent. 22 And saw Cham [Ham], the father of Kena’an [Canaan],את nakedness of his father; and he told to his two brothers outside. 23 And took Shem and Yefet [Japheth] את the garment and laid it on both their shoulders, and they went backwards, and covered את nakedness of their father. And their faces were turned backward, and they did not see their father’s nakedness. 24 And Noach awoke from his wine, and he knew את what his younger son had done to him. 25 And he said, “Cursed be Kena’an! He shall be a servant of servants to his brothers.” 26 And he said, “Blessed by YEHOVAH ELOHAY [the Lord God] of Shem; and Kena’an shall be his servant. 27 ELOHIM [God] shall enlarge Yefet, and he shall live in the tents of Shem; and Kena’an shall be a servant to them.”
Why did Noah curse his grandson (Ham’s son Canaan) when he awoke? What had “his younger son done to him” that he would do that?
