Which three sons of Noah are named in Genesis's Noah's Ark story?

The three sons of Noah named in Genesis's Noah's Ark story are Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 6:10 names these three sons before describing the flood. Genesis 7:13 later says Noah, his wife, his sons, and his sons' wives entered the ark, identifying the family group preserved in the narrative.

After the flood, Genesis 9 recounts an episode involving Noah and his sons, and Genesis 10 presents a genealogy known as the Table of Nations. That chapter connects the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth with peoples and territories known to the biblical authors.

The names are sometimes mixed up with later famous biblical family groups, especially Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Those three are successive generations in a different lineage and are not Noah's sons.
