Which of these was the name of one of Noah's sons?
Japheth (/ˈdʒeɪfɛθ/) is one of the three sons of Noah in the Book of Genesis, in which he plays a role in the story of Noah's drunkenness and the curse of Ham, and subsequently in the Table of Nations as the ancestor of the peoples of the Aegean Sea, Anatolia, and elsewhere. In medieval and early modern European tradition he was considered to be the progenitor of European and, later, East Asian peoples.
Japheth first appears in the Book of Genesis as one of the three sons of Noah, saved from the flood through the Ark. In the bible, they are always in the order "Shem, Ham, and Japheth" when all three are listed (Genesis 5:32, 9:18 and 10:1).

Shem, Ham and Japhet were Noah's son's so there are two correct answers again. Stop with the religious questions, how can anyone prove or disprove any of these fairy tales
Raymond Cardona
So isn’t Ham the same as Hamm or was Hamm a QC typo????

not according to current data, it was Japeth or Yapeth

Genesis 10:21 indicates that Japheth was the oldest and was born when Noah was 500 years old. Ham is the youngest, as indicated in Genesis 9:24, after Ham’s inappropriate actions to his father. Therefore, Shem had to be born in between Japheth and Ham. Shem wasn’t born as a triplet or twin of Japheth when Noah was 500, as shown by Genesis 7:6 and Genesis 11:10.

A "little" confused here. All the comments were 3 to 6 months ago and discussed ages of the sons. The question as I got it was "the name of one of Noah's sons". Japheth was the answer and I guess "Hamm" was a distractor (not wise with all the misspellings on this site).

Confusing set of choices. Because Quizzclub is so lazy about spelling, etc, I chose Hamm because Noah had a son named Ham. How were we to know that wasn't a typo? SMH

Why is it when I click "dislike", the count is still "0". This happens way too often.

Doesn't matter when they were born, the question asked for one son and there are two correct answers, Hamm and Yafeth.

Greg Sanza, you fell for the trap of assuming the spelling was correct.
Leapy Lee
Still not a fan of religious trivia

Hamm is correct, in spite of misspelling.
Dena Barrett
Reported this question. It should be pulled.
Eric Arvidson
Shem, Ham and Japheth are correct. Your incorrect spelling for Ham doesn't detract from Ham being correct as well.

How can we ever to receive the bonus for getting all ten questions Correct if you keep slipping an obviously wrong answer?

I hate to tell you, you are wrong. In KJV Genesis 10:21; Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born. According to this Japheth was the elder, and if you notice, Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth at the age of five hundred years old when he begat all three sons. Shem was mentioned first in previous Verses, because he is in the genealogy of Christ.
