How did humanity start over after the flood?
After the flood, humanity started over through Noah’s three sons—Ham, Shem, and Japheth—and their wives, who were preserved in the ark. From these three couples the whole human race began again. Later, from the line of Shem came Abraham.
Les teaches that the flood destroyed all people except those in the ark: Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their three wives. From those three sons and their wives, the whole human race began again. The transcript calls this the onset of the whole human race after the flood, and it notes that from the sons of Ham, Shem, and Japheth came the renewed population, with Abraham later descending from Shem’s line.
