Which three sons of Noah are named in Genesis as surviving the Flood with him?

The three sons of Noah named in Genesis as surviving the Flood with him are Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 7:13 identifies Noah, his wife, his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives as entering the Ark. These eight people make up the human family group preserved in the narrative. Genesis had already introduced the three sons in its account of Noah’s family.

Later biblical genealogies associate the sons with broad ancestral lines and peoples. Genesis 10, often called the Table of Nations, traces groups and territories through the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. These genealogical associations are theological and literary classifications, not modern population genetics.

The names are sometimes mixed up with other famous biblical families, especially Abraham’s sons Isaac and Ishmael or Adam’s sons Cain and Abel. For the Ark story, the canonical trio is Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
