Just by knowing a little bit of history now you might be able to figure out which son of Noah's you are descended from...and if your lucky you even might be so mixed that your descended from more than one of Noah's sons.


Sons of Noah
Genesis 9:18-19 "The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japeth. (Ham was the father of Canaan). These were the three sons of Noah, and from them came the people who were scattered over the earth."

Can you imagine it? The whole population of our world comes from Noah's three son's. Each son had a wife and together they had children, and those children had children, and so on and so on, until each nation was large and spread out over the earth again.
Each son gave birth to different race's of people. Some fair-skinned and some dark skin and some medium skin toned. Each person different and unique. Some with brown hair-brown eyed, some with red hair - green eyes, some with blond hair-blue eyes, some with black hair-brown eyes, and as each generation passed these types became mixed. It is very rare in today's world to find someone who is of just one race anymore.
We are all, especially in America, a mix of many different races. We are each beautiful and unique in God's eyes and those who love us. Do you know your family history? Of what type of people you come from or why you have the color of eyes and hair that you have? Do you wonder if your a descendant of one of Noah's son's-whether that is Shem, Ham or Japeth?
