Genesis 6:10
“And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 6Meaning
The family that will enter the ark is introduced before the flood instructions begin.
Read carefully
The verse names the three sons relevant to the flood story and is not intended as a complete biography of Noah's family life.
Reflection
The coming preservation is framed around a household whose members will carry the narrative beyond the flood.
