I used to think Noah was mad because his son saw him naked. Which BTW I thought was kind of unfair. He couldn't help he walked in on that. That's kind of just bad luck. But he was punished harshly by his father. But I thought about it a few min ago and thought maybe Noah was mad because he "glanced and saw" and told his brothers "outside" which meant he left him there uncovered. I wonder what would have happened if he would have just covered him himself.
------------
20 And Noah began to cultivate the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
21 And he drank of the wine and became drunk, and he was uncovered and lay naked in his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, glanced at and saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
23 So Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon the shoulders of both, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
24 When Noah awoke from his wine, and knew the thing which his youngest son had done to him,
25 He exclaimed, Cursed be Canaan! He shall be the servant of servants to his brethren!
26 He also said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem! And blessed by the Lord my God be 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.
