After Noah had lived 500 years, he fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

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

On that very day, Noah entered the ark with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah's wife, his sons' three wives with them,

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

Then Shem and Japheth took their father's cloak, laid it across both their shoulders, and walking backwards, they both covered their father's genitals. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's genitals.

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

These are the records of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to whom descendants were born after the flood.

Japheth's descendants included Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

Shem, Japheth's older brother, also had descendants. Shem was the father of the descendants of Eber.
