Noah.
Japheth was the other brother, and the third of Noah's sons.
they are the sons of noah:
Noah was 500 years old when Shem was born, according to the biblical account in Genesis 5:32. This information is part of the genealogy that details Noah's age at the time of the birth of his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
There is no direct evidence that Jesus is related to Shem, but some people believe that they may be related indirectly. Shem was one of the sons of Noah, and Noah is a direct ancestor of Abraham, who is a direct ancestor of Jesus. So, if Shem and Noah are related, then Jesus may be related to Shem indirectly. However, there is no way to know for sure if this is the case.
Shem had five sons: Elam, Ashur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram (Genesis ch.10).
According to Genesis, we know the names of three of Noah's sons: Ham, Shem, and Japeth. Shem is the father of the "Semitic" races (or Shemitic - taking dialects into account). He may have had other sons, but they are not mentioned in the Bible.
Shem was a son of Noah, and accompanied him on the Ark. (Gen 6:10ff.) After landing, Shem fathered sons: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud and Aram. (Gen 10:22) We loose count here because Gen 11:11 tells us that Shem live 500 yrs, and had more sons and daughters ... no names or numbers. Further,1 Chron 1:17 gives us names of 4 more sons of Shem in addition to the ones mentioned above, viz: Uz, Hul, Gether and Meshech.
he was a descendant of Noah, as follows: one of Noah's sons was Shem. one of Shem's sons was Arpachshad. one of Arpachshad's sons was Shelach. one of Shelach's sons was Eber. one of Eber's sons was Peleg. Re'u Nahor Terah Abraham shall I continue?
The first known 'Shem' in recorded history is one of Noah's sons... you know, the guy with the ark.
Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. According to biblical accounts, their occupations are not explicitly detailed, but they are traditionally considered to be progenitors of various nations and peoples. Shem is often associated with the Semitic peoples, Ham with African nations, and Japheth with European nations. Their roles are more symbolic, representing the spread of humanity after the flood rather than specific occupations.
Noah had three sons named Shem, Ham, and Japheth. According to the biblical account in the Book of Genesis, these three sons and their wives were the only human survivors of the Great Flood, along with Noah and his wife. Each son is traditionally regarded as the ancestor of different peoples and nations.
The Bible has the :-Gen 10:1-32 KJV Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons [ie Noah's grandsons] born after the flood. [v. 2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. [v. 3] ... [v. 6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. [v. 7] ... [v. 22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. ... [v. 32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
