Japheth was the other brother, and the third of Noah's sons.
Shem, Ham and Japheth See the Bible Genesis 6:10
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?
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.
Ham is usually described as one of Noah's three sons, along with Shem and Japheth. He is often depicted as the youngest son.
The Bible doe not say.No, but there are other scriptures that do.From the book of Jubilees:Wife of Noah - Emzara, daughter of Rake'el, son of MethuselahWife of Shem - SedeqetelebabWife of Ham - Ne'elatama'uk or Na'eltama'ukWife of Japheth - 'AdatanesesRecall the sons of Noah were the Patriarchs of the world's races. Shem married an oriental woman and moved to the Holy land, gave birth to the S(h)emites - Semitic races of the middle east. While Ham travelled to the south with his Ethiopian wife and raised his family in Egypt and northern Africa. Japheth's wife was Caucasian (from the Caucasus Mountains) and traveled north raised his family.

Noah.
A:According to biblical tradition, Noah was the ancestor of all subsequent humans. This of course is a religious belief, not a scientific or anthropological statement.
Shem, Ham and Japheth See the Bible Genesis 6:10
Noah (Genesis 5:32)
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.
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 Noah's eldest son.
Noah, his wife, Shem, Ham, Japeth, and their wives. Eight total.

Some would say 'Ham' is the middle or second son between Shem and Japheth.
