kjv@Genesis:9:22@ And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
kjv@Genesis:9:23@ 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.
kjv@Genesis:9:24@ And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
The language or translation seems to be holding something back here. If Ham only saw (caught a glimps), why does it say Noah knew what the younger son had done to him? There was some type of violation or deeper shame committed to warrant the severe curse that followed. In seeing it may be in how he saw and in telling it may be in how/what he told his brothers. Or else it may be something worse.
