Noah's sons were born at different times. His first son was Japheth when Noah was about 500 yrs old. Then came Shem at 502 yrs old & lastly, Ham (unsure how old Noah was at his birth).
There is nowhere in the Bible that states Noah had triplets. There is Scripture to prove what Chris stated is correct:
" Genesis 7:6 "And Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters was opon the earth."
Genesis 11:10 "Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:".
A little bit of subtraction tells us that therefore Shem was born when Noah was in his 502nd year."
Knowing Noah began to beget sons in His 500th year. Japheth being the oldest son of Noah, born in/close to Noahs 500th year, then Shem in His 502nd year, and the birth of Ham, youngest, can not be traced. Just as Chris stated.
