Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Noah's sons who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Ham later fathered Canaan.)

May God make room for Japheth; may God live in Shem's tents, and may Canaan serve him."

Shem lived 500 years after he fathered Arpachshad and had other sons and daughters.
