This is the biblical genealogy according to the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, which outlines the descendants of Noah's three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth after the Flood.
[1] Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.[2] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.[3] And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.[4] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.[5] By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.[6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.[7] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.[8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.[10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.[11] Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,[12] And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.[13] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,[14] And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.[15] And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,[16] And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,[17] And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,[18] And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.[19] And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.[20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.[21] Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.[23] And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.[24] And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.[25] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.[26] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,[27] And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,[28] And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,[29] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.[30] And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.[31] These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
[1] And Elohim blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
In Genesis 9:1, after the flood, God tells Noah and his sons: "Multiply and replenish the earth." "Replenish" implies doing it again, suggesting a prior civilization destroyed by the flood.
[8] And Elohim spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,[9] And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;[10] And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.[11] And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.[12] And Elohim said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:[13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.[14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:[15] And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.[16] And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between Elohim and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.[17] And Elohim said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.[18] And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.[19] These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
Based on the writing style this part is likely a later addition:[20] And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:[21] And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.[22] And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers without.[23] And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.[24] And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.[25] And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brothers.[26] And he said, Blessed be Yahweh of Elohim of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.[27] God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
[28] And Noah lived after the flood 350 years.[29] And all the days of Noah were 955 years: and he died.
The passage's abrupt shift from the flood narrative to Noah's vineyard and subsequent events has led scholars to scrutinize its origins and purpose.
The Hebrew term ish ha-adamah (אִישׁ הָאֲדָמָה), meaning "man of the ground," is used in Genesis 9:20 to describe Noah.
This phrase is unique and not previously associated with Noah, suggesting a possible editorial addition or a different source.
The narrative's implication that Noah planted a vineyard and became intoxicated shortly after the flood raises chronological concerns.
Noah's curse falls on Canaan, Ham's son, rather than Ham himself.
Both internal style and historical context suggest Genesis 9:20–27 was likely a separate tradition grafted onto the Noah story, possibly to serve a political or theological purpose in Israel's early history.
Genesis 9:20–27 does not explicitly anchor the vineyard event to a post-flood timeline except for the introductory phrase, "Noah began to be a man of the soil." This could be read more loosely as a character statement rather than a sequence marker.
If Noah experienced a visionary trance during intoxication, the narrative could be encoding a prophetic insight misinterpreted or moralized later by redactors.
The curse on Canaan could be seen not as a punishment, but as a vision or oracle Noah uttered under altered consciousness:
Noah drinks, lies uncovered (symbol of ego stripped), and enters a trance-like state in which he sees through time—both backward (origin) and forward (flood, curse).
After the event, Noah doesn’t re-engage with the world.
According to the Bible, Shem, one of Noah's three sons, had several sons and became the ancestor of various peoples.
These genealogies are part of the Table of Nations in Genesis 10, which provides a listing of the descendants of Noah's sons and the nations they became.
[1] And Elohim remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and Elohim made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
[5] And the waters decreased continually until the 10th month: in the 10th month, on the 1st day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.[6] And it came to pass at the end of 40 days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:[7] And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro moves around until the waters were dried up from off the earth.[8] Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;[9] But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.[10] And he stayed yet other 7 days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;[11] And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.[12] And he stayed yet other 7 days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.[13] And it came to pass 601 years, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.[14] And in the 2nd month, on the 27th day of the month, was the earth dried.[15] And God spake unto Noah, saying,[16] Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.[17] Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all (pure?) flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.[18] And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:[19] Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.[20] And Noah builded an altar unto Yahweh Elohim; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.[21] And Yahwey Elohim smelled a sweet savour; and Yahwey Elohim said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.[22] While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
We now learn that the Flood was sent as a punishment of the Adamites; and if they were all destroyed except Noah and his family, the populations of preadamites remained dispersed widely over northern and estern Asia.
Noah is a Semitic derivative of the much earlier Sumerian name “Utnapishtim” and the Akkadian “Ziusudra.” The writings of these civilizations all portray a Noah-like character who is warned of the flood by the god Enki.
Was Noah from the Bible an Atlantean?
Thanks to Noah and the Sirian overlord who warned him, we have a flourishing civilization today.
In the Book of the Watchers (1 Enoch 1–36) there is no mention of Noah’s ark as a boat.
Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spoke, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him: Go to Noah and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it.
In his History of Armenia, he wrote that Noah and his family first settled in Armenia and later moved to Babylon. Hayk, a descendant of Japheth, a son of Noah, revolted against Bel (the biblical Nimrod) and returned to the area around Mount Ararat, where he established the roots of the Armenian nation.
[1] And Uriel said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.[2] Of every clean beast thou you shalt take to thee you by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.[3] Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.[4] For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
[5] And Noah did according unto all that Uriel commanded him.[6] And Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
[7] And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Family of Noah
[8] Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,[9] There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as Uriel had commanded Noah.[10] And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.[11] In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month (77 days?), the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the the windows of heaven portals?
[12] And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.[13] In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;[14] They, and every original beast after his image, and all the pure/original cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
Cayce explicitly links this kind of degeneracy to the Noah/flood period.
“Humankind had become so evil and degenerate during Noah’s time that misshapen mixtures and half-human beasts had begun to populate the earth, and would eventually become the basis for the legendary creatures of Greek and Roman mythology.”
[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.[16] And they that went in, went in male and female of all pure flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.[17] And the flood was 40 days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.[18] And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
[21] And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:[22] All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.[23] And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man altered humans, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
The verse claims total destruction of humanity (“Noah only remained alive”), yet the very next chapters show Noah’s sons finding wives and repopulating the earth.
Cayce explicitly said that Noah and his family were not the only survivors.
P has a theological agenda: it wants to present the flood as a complete reset — a total judgment on a corrupt world, followed by a new creation with Noah as the new Adam figure.
"As it was during the days of Noah" Jesus said the "Son of Man" will appear at an unexpected moment, "as it was during the days of Noah." Pleiadians have previously shared that Noah, his family and many species of animals were saved by Galactic Federation during the last great cataclysm that wiped out Atlantis.
“As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
They were eating and drinking, and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.”
Ark’s necessity: If the Flood were local, Noah could simply have moved away; building the Ark would have been unnecessary.
Genesis 7:7 notes that Noah entered the ark with his sons and their wives.
Since Genesis does not record where these women came from, some interpreters argue that not all wives were originally aboard the Ark, and that intermarriage after the flood might have involved survivors from outside Noah’s household.
The god who instructed Noah to build the arc was Uriel or Anu
[1] And it came to pass, when human began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,[2] That the sons of the Elohim saw the daughters of human that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.[3] And Yahweh (or Enki) of Elohim said, My spirit appearance shall not always strive with humans, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be limited to 120 years.[4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of the Elohim came in unto the daughters of human, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty human which were of old, human of renown[5] And Elohim saw that the wickedness rebellion of humans was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.[6] And it repented the LORD (Enki) that he had made humans on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.[7] And the LORD Yahweh of Elohim said, I will destroy man altered humans whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man altered humans, and altered beast, and the altered creeping thing, and the altered fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.[8] But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD Yahweh of Elohim.[9] These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man altered human and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God The Elohim.
[10] And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.[11] The earth also was corrupt before God the Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence.[12] And God the Elohim looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.[13] And God the Elohim said unto Noah, The end of all flesh altered life is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.[14] Make thee you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.[15] And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits 135 meters, the breadth of it fifty cubits 22.5 meters, and the height of it thirty cubits 13.5 meters.[16] A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.[17] And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh altered life, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing altered thing that is in the earth shall die.[18] But with thee you will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy your sons, and thy your wife, and thy your sons' wives with thee you.[19] And of every living thing of all original flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee you; they shall be male and female.[20] Of fowls after their kind original fowls, and of cattle after their kind original cattle, of every original creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.[21] And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.[22] Thus did Noah; according to all that God the Elohim commanded him, so did he.
The names Methuselah, Lamech, Adam, and Seth appear in the Bible's Book of Genesis, chapter 5, as part of the genealogy tracing the line from Adam to Noah.
Genesis 7 - Noah and the Flood
The genealogy from Adam (the first man, according to the Bible) to Noah is as follows:
Noah, Lamech’s son, lived for 950 years.
Literal readings lead to inconsistencies, like overlapping lifespans (e.g., Noah outliving Abraham by 58 years, unmentioned in narratives) and textual variants across Masoretic, Septuagint, and Samaritan versions.
29 and he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which Elohim YHWH hath cursed.
30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
The Atrahasis Epic is considered one of the earliest known accounts of a great flood and shares similarities with other flood myths, including the biblical story of Noah.
Alexander Winchell proposed that Genesis 4 is pre Deluge, perhaps the 500th year of Noah.
And Enlil said unto Noah, Come thou you and all thy your house into the ark; for thee you have I seen righteous before me in this generation bloodline.
Anu remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark.
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Genesis 10 – Noah’s offspring
Samuel Noah Kramer believes that behind this myth of Enki's confinement of Abzu lies an older one of the struggle between Enki and the Dragon Kur (the underworld).
What is the relationship between Utnapishtim, Ziusudra, and Noah?
Noah is the Hebrew Bible flood survivor in Genesis 6-9.
Then comes the bird test that makes this tablet the clearest Mesopotamian parallel to Noah’s dove.
Immortality at the Mouth of the Rivers is the Mesopotamian gift parallel to Noah’s covenant.
Genesis 6-9 tells Noah’s flood in the Hebrew Bible.
Noah finds favor.
Noah sends birds.
Noah again sent out the dove from the ark.
In the evening, the dove returned with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her mouth, indicating to Noah that the waters had subsided from the earth.
Across Ziusudra, Utnapishtim, and Noah the shared beats are clear:
The three-name map gives me Mesopotamia-to-Bible flood-survivor continuity: Ziusudra, Utnapishtim, Noah, with Berossus holding Ziusudra as Xisuthrus.
They are three flood survivors in one comparative tradition: Sumerian Ziusudra (Eridu Genesis), Akkadian Utnapishtim (Gilgamesh XI / Atrahasis neighborhood), and biblical Noah (Genesis 6-9).
Noah’s ark story ends in covenant under YHWH.
Genesis has Noah’s dove return with an olive leaf (Genesis 8:10-11).
