What three names does Genesis give as Noah’s sons?

Genesis names Noah’s three sons as Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 5:32 and 6:10 list the sons in the order Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They enter the ark with Noah, their wives, and Noah’s wife in the Flood account.

After the Flood, Genesis 9 describes an episode involving Noah and his sons, then presents them as the ancestors of families spread across the earth. Genesis 10, often called the Table of Nations, links many peoples and territories to their lines.

The sons should not be confused with other famous biblical family groups, such as Abraham’s descendants through Isaac and Jacob. Their names are central to the Flood narrative and its account of humanity’s repopulation after the waters receded.
