After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
-
Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
-
On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.
-
The Sons of Noah
The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Ham was the father of Canaan.)
-
But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
-
He also said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem.
-
May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth.”
-
The Table of Nations
This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.
-
The Semites
Sons were also born to Shem, whose older brother was Japheth; Shem was the ancestor of all the sons of Eber.
-
The sons of Shem: Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram.
-
These are the sons of Shem by their clans and languages, in their territories and nations.
-
From Shem to Abram
This is the account of Shem’s family line. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
-
And after he became the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
-
these kings went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
