Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 18-19 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
- B 20-21 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
  - C 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father,
    - D 22 and told his two brethren without.
    - D' 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
- B' 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
A' 25-27 Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren... Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; And Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, And he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; And Canaan shall be his servant.
