Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. ¹ 

Noah had ¹  three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

The sons of Japheth ¹  were Gomer, ²  Magog, ³  Madai, ⁴  Javan, ⁵  Tubal, ⁶  Meshech, ⁷  and Tiras. ⁸ 

The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

After Noah was 500 years old, he ¹  became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

May God enlarge Japheth’s territory and numbers! ¹  May he live ²  in the tents of Shem and may Canaan be his slave!”

The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Now Ham was the father of Canaan.) ¹ 

This is the account ¹  of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons ²  were born ³  to them after the flood.

And sons were also born ¹  to Shem (the older brother of Japheth), ²  the father of all the sons of Eber.

On that very day Noah entered the ark, accompanied by his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, along with his wife and his sons’ three wives. ¹ 

Shem and Japheth took the garment ¹  and placed it on their shoulders. Then they walked in backwards and covered up their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned ²  the other way so they did not see their father’s nakedness.

From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to its language, according to their families, by their nations.

So he said, “Cursed ¹  be Canaan! ²  The lowest of slaves ³  he will be to his brothers.”
