Genesis 6:10

וַ יֹּולֶד נֹחַ שְׁלֹשָׁה בָנִים אֶת שֵׁם אֶת חָם וְ אֶת יָפֶת
And he is generating three builders, אֶת-Name, אֶת-Warm, and אֶת-Opened.241
241

Rest is causing his builders to bear. Shem means Name, Ham means warm or hot like warm bread (Josh. 9:12), hot like an oven (#2552, hamam, Hos. 7:7), also dark-colored, and father-in-law (#2524), Opened means spacious, wide or open. (Strong’s #8035, #2526, #3315). As a side note, Hebrew yacham means to be hot and is used to speak of conceiving in many places, see note on Genesis 30:38.
