Sons of Noah

The sons of Noah are named in Genesis 10 as Shem, Ham, and Japheth. According to a grammatical-historical interpretation of the Old Testament, all of humanity is descended from Noah, his wife, Noah's three sons, and their wives. The Genealogies of Genesis list the ancestors and descendants of this family, and in some cases, give the ages when they had a child and when they died, sometimes even including information about what they did, what happened during their lifetime, or what cities they founded. The sons of Noah appear again in genealogies in 1 Chronicles 1, and in Luke 3:23-38, which tracks the genealogy of Jesus back through David, Abraham, Shem, and Adam, to God.
