The answer
They lay a garment across their shoulders, walk in backward, and cover him with their faces turned away, "and they did not see their father's nakedness" (Genesis 9:23). The verse stages every movement.
Why it’s interesting
The narrator spends more words on how the brothers didn't look than on what Ham did — the contrast is the scene's whole engine. It's the last story the Bible tells about Noah.
