Which three sons of Noah are named together after the Flood?

The three sons of Noah named together after the Flood are Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 9:18 identifies these three as Noah’s sons who came out of the ark. Genesis 7:13 had already named them among the people entering the ark with Noah, their wives, and Noah’s wife. The family group forms the surviving human household in the Flood narrative.

Genesis 10, often called the Table of Nations, traces descendants associated with Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The chapter presents them as ancestors of peoples and territories known to the biblical writer. Later biblical traditions also connect Shem with the term “Semitic,” although the linguistic and historical use of that term is broader than a simple one-to-one family tree.

The three names should not be confused with other major biblical sibling groups such as Cain, Abel, and Seth. Their role in the Ark story is specifically as Noah’s sons and members of the family preserved through the Flood.
