Genesis 9:23

And Name is taking,346 and Opened, אֶת-the Mantle,347 and they are placing upon the shoulder348 of their double, and they are walking backward,349 and are covering אֶת-the naked-one of their father. And their faces are backward, and the naked-one of their father they have not seen.

Footnote:

349

If the Hebrew timeline is “backwards” from ours we could deduce that the text means to tells us they are actually walking “forward” toward the beginning or “front” and thus their faces are pointed toward the beginning—backwards.
