Appears 17 times in Scripture
“And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”
“After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”
“May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.””
“The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.”
“He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.”
“The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.”
“And sons were also born to Shem, the older brother of Japheth; Shem was the forefather of all the sons of Eber.”
“Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.”
“On that very day Noah entered the ark, along with his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife, and the three wives of his sons—”
“This is the account of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who also had sons after the flood.”
