What were the names of Noah's three sons in the Noah's Ark account?

Noah’s three sons in the Noah’s Ark account were Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 6:10 names these three sons before the Flood narrative describes Noah’s family entering the ark. Genesis later presents Shem, Ham, and Japheth as survivors with Noah and their wives, forming the immediate family group preserved through the Flood.

The three names are also central to the genealogy in Genesis 10, often called the Table of Nations. That chapter traces descendants associated with the sons and places the names within the Bible’s post-Flood account of peoples and territories.

They are sometimes confused with other famous biblical sibling groups, such as Cain, Abel, and Seth, or Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Those figures belong to different generations and stories. In the ark narrative, the canonical trio is Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
