Who were the three sons of Noah?

Shem, Ham and Japheth See the Bible Genesis 6:10


Were shem ham japheth triplets?

This is a difficulty. Noah's wife could not have three pregnancies all in Noah's 500th year. However, it is said that Noah was 600 when he went into the ark. His son, Shem begot Arphaxad when Shem was 100, two years after the flood. (Gen. 11: 10). This means Noah must have been 502, when Shem was born. Gen. 10: 21 calls Shem the "brother of Japheth the elder" in the NKJV. Some other translations say, “Shem the older brother of Japheth.” So, it is hard to determine the correct birth order. Gen. 9: 24 calls Ham, Noah’s “younger son” in the NKJV. Again, other translations call him the “youngest son.” This still doesn’t address the triplet question, though. Multiple births still emphasize birth order. A lot is made of Esau having the rights of the first-born, even though Jacob is his twin. What could be meant is that Noah was “about 500” when his three sons were born. But this seems a bit unsatisfactory, doesn’t it?


Where did Noah sons Shem Ham and Japheth go?

Shem descendants migrated to Mesopotamia,Syria,northern Arabia,cantral Asia ,east Asia(far east),north & south America(native American). Japheth descendants go to Europe, central Asia(they mixed with Shem descendant in central asia) and they were ancestor of Persians , Aryan Indians ,European & all of Indo-European group. Ham descendants go to Egypt , north Africa, southern Arabia, Ethiopia, Africa,and live in Canaan(Canaanites that Jews eliminated them). After Noah died, the three brothers buried him on the side of Ararat, in a coffin made of wood from the Ark. Japheth said goodbye to his brothers and went off north with his sons. They crossed the Caucasus and lived in the Kuban river valley in south Russia. Shem and Ham went off south to Syria, where Shem built Damascus. Shem and Ham quarreled, and Ham left in a huff. He went to Jordan and built his own city of Ham. But it was in a bad location, and never grew to more than a village. Ham's large fierce sons left their father and went off to Africa to cause trouble.

Which son of Noah did Indians come from?

By tradition, Shem was the father of the people of the middle East and Asia. However, this is simply legend, it's not Biblical. Answer Actually it is Biblical, if you will take the time to follow out the geneology given of Shem in the Bible. The people groups that came from Shem are clearly established as peoples known by modern day names in the middleast and Asia. Though there is some of Ham in parts of the Middleast, and Japeth to the north. But generally speaking, Middleastern and Asiatic peoples are of Shem. When you say Indians, if by that, you mean American Indians, the truth is, no one knows for sure.
