18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth-Ham being the father of Canaan. Gen 10:1 Gen 10:6 1Chr 1:4 Gen 9:23 Gen 9:25-27 19 These three were Noah's sons, and from these the whole earth was peopled. 1Chr 1:4-28 Gen 5:32 Gen 8:17 Gen 10:2-32 20 Noah, a tiller of the soil, was the first to plant the vine. 1Cor 9:7 Deut 20:6 Deut 28:30 Eccl 5:9 Gen 3:18-19 Gen 3:23 Gen 4:2 21 He drank some of the wine, and while he was drunk, he lay uncovered in his tent.
