Best Answer

The immediate descendants of Shem can be found in Genesis 10:21-31 and Genesis 11. Chapter 11 makes the connection between Shem's descendants and Abraham.

Also, according to book of Luke chapter 3 in New Testament you can trace King David's line through Noah's son Shem.

He was the one of Noah's three sons named "Shem".

(The term "semitic" eventually derived from that name.)

What tribe from Noah's sons did Abraham come from?

If we follow the genealogical line far enough, the son of Noah was Jesus Christ. Noah's three recorded sons in the first instance were Shem, Ham and Japheth. From these three the three main 'people groups' on the planet are descended post flood. This is recorded in Genesis 10.

How are Noah and Abraham related?

Noah and Abraham are not directly related by blood. Noah is traditionally seen as a distant ancestor of Abraham, both being significant figures in the Bible. Noah preceded Abraham in time and is considered the patriarch who survived the Great Flood, while Abraham is known as the patriarch of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths.


Was Job in the Bible related to Seth?

Yes, through Noah's line. Noah himself was of course descended from Seth. Of course, we cannot really say any more than this, since we do not have any details on Job. But whether some believe Job lived early, around the time of Abraham, or was post-exilic, makes no difference. This is so since all people on the earth are descended from those who came off the ark, and those who came off the ark were Noah and his sons and daughters in law and of course Noah's wife.


What is the relationship between noah's ark and the church of Jesus Christ?

Since Noah's ark preserved Noah and his family through the flood, all people on the earth are descended from Noah. Those of the Church of Christ and many others look to him as a father in the same way they look to Adam or even Abraham (who came after Noah). Some believe that he (Noah) and his sons lived and believed the same principles that Christ taught when He came, and that they looked forward to and prophesied of His (Christ's) birth.


Who were the first people to be monotheistic?

The Jews, beginning with their forefather Abraham. (Though there were early examples of monotheists such as Adam, Noah, Shem and Eber, they are not considered since their influence died out. It was Abraham, not they, who made the supreme effort and was for that reason given God's covenant.)
