Genesis 10:1

[Here comes a new "toledot unit" (the fifth of twelve in Gen.). The Hebrew word toledot is used eleven times in Gen., see Gen. 2:4; 5:1; 6:9; 10:1; 11:10, 27; 25:12, 19; 36:1, 9; 37:2. The chapter provides a genealogy of all the peoples of the earth. The division is not only genealogical but also geographical, linguistic, and historical, see verses 5, 20, and 31.]
This is the continued story of Noah's (Hebr. Noach) sons (their genealogy/family tree – Hebr. toledot),
Shem,
Ham,
and Japheth.
Sons were born to them [Noah's three sons] after the flood.
[Noah's three sons were:
Japheth – probably the eldest son, see Gen. 10:21. He was born when Noah was 500 years old, see Gen. 5:32. Shem (Sem) – probably the middle son. He was 100 years old two years after the flood, see Gen. 11:10. Since the flood came when Noah was 600 years old, he must have been born when Noah was 502 years old, and is thus two years younger than Japheth. The reason he is mentioned first in all lists, here in verse 1 and in Gen. 5:32; 6:10; 7:13; 1 Chron. 1:4, is that his family tree leads to Abraham and ultimately to the Messiah, see Luke 3:34–36! Ham – the youngest son, see Gen. 9:24. How much younger he is is not stated, but he was born before the flood. In verse 1, the order was Shem, Ham, and Japheth. When their genealogy is described below in verses 2-32, the order is reversed with Japheth first (verse 2), then Ham (verse 6), and finally Shem (verse 21). This is a typical chiastic pattern in several parts, which means that the story of the Tower of Babel, see Gen. 11:1–9, is framed by Shem's family tree, which continues in Gen. 11:10–26.]
