Genesis 6:10

And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Cross-reference

Both list Noah's three sons by name — Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Genesis 5:32 introduces them genealogically; 6:10 reintroduces them as the flood narrative begins.

The three sons named here are the same who enter the ark in 7:13, linking the family introduction to the moment God's plan is carried out.

1 Chronicles 1:4 repeats this same genealogy — listing Noah and his three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth as part of the Chronicler's record of human descent.
