Then the army went over Euphrates and went through Mesopotamia, and destroyed all the high cities on the river Arbonai to the sea, and then to Japheth over against Arabia, and Media and Damascus, and burned up their tabernacles, destroyed their flocks and herds, utterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the edge of the sword.
It was not derived from their "consent". It was from God. He gave Noah the same sovereignty, with express power over life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. It was not founded in "consent" of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives. It was from God.
'Happy Japheth! said Darton. 'This then is the explanation! He determined to return home that night. In a quarter of an hour he passed out of the village, and the next day went about his swede-lifting and storing as if nothing had occurred. He waited and waited to hear from Johns whether the wedding-day was fixed: but no letter came.
These correspond roughly to three sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth. In the time of Abraham and long before, and on to the time of Moses there was great literary culture. Letters passed between kingdoms and cities. There were schools and colleges, great dictionaries and many books on many subjects.
Ironing day; blowing a gale of wind; women are making hard work of it and getting seasick Hove to at 8 bells this morning; lays easy; kicked Ham away from the wheel and steered his trick; afraid I can't make a sailor of him; wish I'd saved a few sinners to work ship; could have drowned them afterwards. Heading N. E. by N. Japheth at the wheel. Thurs., 10 days out.
Higher up is Shem, leaning his arm over that mouse-colored horse, his Arab steed. His wife, in pure white linen, feeds the elephant, and plays with his lithe proboscis, the mother of Terah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, and Christ.

Mon., 28 days out. My wife has confiscated the jug and means to keep it; we'll see about that; says it is the cause of poor, dear Ham's sickness; undoubtedly; should have let it alone Shem at the wheel, Japheth on the lookout. Course E. Wed., 30 days out. Mutiny! Fri., 32 days out.
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Miss Euphrasia thought of her roses, already in leaf, and refused to be enthusiastic over the supernal beauty of the crystalline stage settings. Major Caspar was anxious about the pasturing stock, and was relieved when Japheth Pettigrass came in sight, leading a slipping, sliding cavalcade of terrified horses to shelter in the great stables.
