Bible Question: Were Noah's sons triplets |
Bible Answer: They were not triplets since Noah's first son was born when he was 500 years old and Shem was not born until Noah was 503 years old. Genesis 5:32 states that Noah was 500 years old when he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. This would indicate that Noah's eldest son was born when Noah was 500 years old. The flood came when Noah was 600 years old (Genesis 7:11) and lasted for a year (Genesis 8:13-14). Shem was 100 years old 2 years after the flood when Noah would have been 603 years old (Genesis 11:10). Hoth |
