Bible Question: In Gen. "the sons of Noah"....some of the translations lead you to believe that they could have been born at 3 different times, but others make it sound as though they were possibly triplets. Any thoughts? |
Bible Answer: rckeel - Thanks for your question. Shem, Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, were not triplets. Japheth was the oldest (Gen. 10:21) and Ham the youngest (Gen. 9:22-24). --Hank |
