Shem and Japheth put a robe over their shoulders and walked backwards into the tent. Without looking at their father, they placed it over his body.
Ham entered the tent and saw him naked, then went back outside and told his brothers.
When Noah woke up and learnt what his youngest son Ham had done,
Respect your father and your mother, and you will live a long time in the land I am giving you.
I command you to show respect for older people and to obey me with fear and trembling.
Pay all that you owe, whether it is taxes and fees or respect and honour.
My friends, you are spiritual. So if someone is trapped in sin, you should gently lead that person back to the right path. But watch out, and don't be tempted yourself.
Don't correct an older man. Encourage him, as you would your own father. Treat younger men as you would your own brother,
Church leaders who do their job well deserve to be paid twice as much, especially if they work hard at preaching and teaching.
Don't listen to any charge against a church leader, unless at least two or three people bring the same charges.
Respect everyone and show special love for God's people. Honour God and respect the Emperor.
Most important of all, you must sincerely love each other, because love wipes away many sins.
