 Undecided  This may be a minor thing but it has had me puzzled for almost 25 years.  I welcome opinions and scholarly information.  This in no way trips me up where my relationship is concerned, just something I wonder about.  Thank you for any assistance and God bless each of you.

Hi Vickie!

I'm afraid I'm far from a scholar so I got to digging a little. Thanks so much asking the question. It gives us a chance to search our Bibles and spend time in the Word. I hope the following helps..it did for me.

SHEM

Shem, the son of Noah, was another exception. He is often considered the firstborn, for he is mentioned first in six passages as: Shem, Ham and Japeth. However, he was actually second born. The correct birth order was: Japeth, Shem, Ham. Here is the evidence.

In Genesis 5:32 we read, “Noah was 500 years old and Noah begat Shem, Ham and Japheth', It is obvious that they were not all begotten or born in that year, for they were not triplets. The text means his children began to be born in that year. His oldest son was born that year. According to Genesis 7:11 the flood came upon the earth just 100 years later during Noah's 600th year. However Shem was not 100 till 2 years after the flood (Gen. 11:10). This means he was born in the 502nd year of Noah's life. An older brother was born in the 500th year of Noah. This older brother was not Ham, for in Genesis 9:24 he is called Noah's “younger” son. Therefore Japheth must have been first. Japheth is also called the “elder” in Genesis 9:21. So the order is Japheth, Shem, Ham. The prominence of Shem seems connected with his initiative of faith and honor in his act of covering his father's shame in Genesis 9:20-27.

Shem was given the unique privilege of being one of only two links between Adam and the first
seed of the Abrahamic covenant. Methuselah, in his first 243 years, was contemporary with Adam

Hi Vickie!

This is a very good question and caused me to do some research to discover the answer myself.  i'm glad you asked it!  I'll add my vote to your poll and will leave you with some links that explain my reason for voting that the brothers were not triplets.

love,
Georgie

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil- it has no point.

Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
