Parents: Paternal Reproaches

Source: Nav

Genesis 9:24, 25 When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him, / he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”
Genesis 49:3–7 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power. / Uncontrolled as the waters, you will no longer excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, onto my couch, and defiled it. / Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.
