Genesis 9:23
Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father's nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father's nakedness.
Context
23But 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. 24When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.

25So he said,
         “Cursed be Canaan;
         A servant of servants
         He shall be to his brothers.”

26He also said,
         “Blessed be the LORD,
         The God of Shem;
         And let Canaan be his servant.

27“May God enlarge Japheth,
         And let him dwell in the tents of Shem;
         And let Canaan be his servant.”

      28Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood. 29So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
