Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. ¹ 

Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, ¹ 

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

The sons of Shem were Elam, ¹  Asshur, ²  Arphaxad, ³  Lud, ⁴  and Aram. ⁵ 

These are the sons of Shem according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, and according to their nations.

This is the account of Shem. Shem was 100 old when he became the father of Arphaxad, two years after the flood.

He also said, “Worthy of praise is ¹  the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem! ² 

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

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

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

The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. The sons of Aram: ¹  Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech. ² 

the son of Cainan, ¹  the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,

And after becoming the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other ¹  sons and daughters.

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 

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

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

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.

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