<p>Nach den biblischen Quellen stammen alle nach<a href="Sintflut" title="Sintflut">sintflutlichen</a> Menschen und damit auch Völker von Noahs drei Söhnen und ihren Frauen ab. Daher finden sich dort zahlreiche <a href="Herkunftssage" title="Herkunftssage">Herkunftssagen</a>. Für Sem sind es die folgenden:

</p><p>Sem hatte fünf Söhne (<a href="Genesis_(Bibel)" title="Genesis (Bibel)"><span style="white-space:nowrap;">Gen</span></a> 10,21ff ):

</p>

<ul><li><a href="Elam_(Altertum)" title="Elam (Altertum)">Elam</a> war ursprünglich ein an das Mündungsgebiet von Euphrat und Tigris angrenzendes Reich im Hochland mit der Hauptstadt <a href="Susa_(Persien)" title="Susa (Persien)">Susa</a>.</li>

<li><a href="Assur_(Bibel)" title="Assur (Bibel)">Assur</a> wurde mit dem <a href="Mesopotamien" title="Mesopotamien">mesopotamischen</a> <a href="Assyrien" title="Assyrien">Assyrien</a> und den Völkern des Zweistromlandes allgemein verknüpft.</li>

<li><a href="Arpachschad" title="Arpachschad">Arpachschad</a> wurde von <a href="Josephus" class="mw-redirect" title="Josephus">Josephus</a> und anderen die Stammvaterschaft der <a href="Chald%C3%A4er" title="Chaldäer">Chaldäer</a> zugeschrieben. Der Name sollte in der Provinz Arrapachitis im nördlichen <a href="Assyrien" title="Assyrien">Assyrien</a> erhalten geblieben sein.</li>

<li><a href="Lud" title="Lud">Lud</a> wurde laut Josephus der Stammvater der <a href="Lydier" class="mw-redirect" title="Lydier">Lydier</a> in Kleinasien, die sich von den Luditern in Afrika unterscheiden.</li>

<li><a href="Aram_(Land)" title="Aram (Land)">Aram</a> ist der Name <a href="Syrien" title="Syrien">Syriens</a>, bezieht sich aber besonders auf das Hochland des <a href="Libanon" title="Libanon">Libanon</a>.</li></ul>

<p><a href="Aram%C3%A4er_(Volk)" title="Aramäer (Volk)">Aramäer</a>, <a href="Assyrer" title="Assyrer">Assyrer</a>, <a href="Chald%C3%A4er" title="Chaldäer">Chaldäer</a>, Elamiten und <a href="Lydier" class="mw-redirect" title="Lydier">Lydier</a> wurden also auf Sem zurückgeführt. In Anlehnung daran bezeichnete man alle Völker des Nahen Ostens (genauer: <a href="Hebr%C3%A4er" title="Hebräer">Hebräer</a>, Assyrer, <a href="Aram%C3%A4er_(Volk)" title="Aramäer (Volk)">Aramäer</a>, <a href="Araber" title="Araber">Araber</a>, <a href="Eritrea" title="Eritrea">Erythräer</a> und <a href="%C3%84thiopien" title="Äthiopien">Äthiopier</a>) als <i><a href="Semiten" title="Semiten">semitische Völker</a></i>. Die Indoeuropäer und (zentral und fernöstlichen) Asiaten galten in Anlehnung an den <a href="Tanach" title="Tanach">Tanach</a> als Nachfahren <a href="Japhet" class="mw-redirect" title="Japhet">Japhets</a> und die Schwarzafrikaner als diejenigen <a href="Ham_(Bibel)" title="Ham (Bibel)">Hams</a>.

</p><p>Die Gestalt des Sem war Anhaltspunkt für die Entwicklung pseudepigraphischer Literatur in der Zeit des Zweiten Jüdischen Tempels. Die <i>Schrift des Sem</i> ist ein nur in einer syrischen Handschrift enthaltenes Kalendarium, vermutlich aus Ägypten in den letzten Jahren des ersten vorchristlichen Jahrhunderts.

<p>Hams Nachkommenzuschreibung wurde vor allem für christliche Rechtfertigungen benutzt, denn der Segen für Sem war zugleich ein Fluch über Ham gewesen, so dass man etwa im <i><a href="Bible_Belt" title="Bible Belt">Bible Belt</a></i> der USA damit die <a href="Sklaverei" title="Sklaverei">Sklaverei</a> rechtfertigte.

</p><p>Der Begriff <a href="Semiten" title="Semiten">Semiten</a> wurde umgangssprachlich und absprechend in Deutschland ab dem 19. Jahrhundert nur noch für Juden gebraucht (daher: „<a href="Judenfeindlichkeit" class="mw-redirect" title="Judenfeindlichkeit">Antisemitismus</a>“; „<a href="Philosemitismus" title="Philosemitismus">Philosemitismus</a>“).
