Genesis 9:27
May God expand the territory of Japheth;
What it says
Noah says God will enlarge Japheth, that Japheth will dwell in the tents of Shem, and that Canaan will be his servant.
What it is doing
It extends the blessing pattern to Japheth while repeating Canaan’s subordination.
In context
26He also declared: 27May God expand the territory of Japheth; 28After the flood, Noah lived 350 years. 29So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
