What is the name of the wife of Noah?

Answer 1

joan?

Answer 2

The wife of Noah is mentioned five times in the flood story ( Gen. 6:18, 7:7, 7:13, 8:16, 8:18) though she lacks any personal identity.

I call her "Mrs. Noah".

Jewish tradtion says her name was Na'amah. Why?

The midrash in Bereshit Rabba 23:3 fills this void: "And the sister of Tuval Kain was Na'amah" (Gen. 4:22). Rabbi Abba bar Kahanah said: Na'amah was the wife of Noah, and why was she called Na'amah (pleasant one)? Since her deeds were pleasing , and our rabbis said: There was another Na'amah, and why did they call her Na'amah?

She played melodies on the drum to accompany idolatry".

Answer 3

There does not seem to be any passages in the Bible referring to her other than the account beginning in Genesis 7:7 which mentions Noah's wife. His wife is not named in the Bible for certain; however, according to Jewish tradition her name is Naamah.

Why Tubal-cain's sister (a daughter of Lamech by his wife Zillah, and sister of Tubal-cain, a descendant of Cain) should be specifically mentioned is unknown. Jewish tradition made her Noah's wife. Her name, meaning "the beautiful" or "the pleasant one," reflects the worldly mind of the Cainites, who looked for beauty rather than for character as the chief attraction in women.

Answer 4

Her name was "Wāhila"

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ٱمْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَٱمْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْئاً وَقِيلَ ٱدْخُلاَ ٱلنَّارَ مَعَ ٱلدَّاخِلِينَ }


God has struck a similitude for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were under two of Our righteous servants, yet they betrayed them, in [their] religion, for they both disbelieved - Noah's wife, called Wāhila, used to say to his people that he was a madman, while Lot's wife, called Wā'ila, used to tell his people the whereabouts of his guests when they stayed with him, at night by lighting a fire, and during the day by making smoke. So they, that is, Noah and Lot, did not avail the two women in any way against God, against His chastisement, and it was said, to the two women: 'Enter, both of you, the Fire along with the incomers', from among the disbelievers of the peoples of Noah and Lot.

Answer 5

There is no name given for her. When teaching the story if asked we would just explain that God doen't tell us everything and so we could call her Mrs. Noah.

Answer 9

I think men were too threatened to mention many wive's names. They wanted woman to look as unimportant and subordinte to them as possible. I do feel that the bible was manwritten. Otherwise the Judeo-Christian's God's love is not unconditional.

Answer 10

I don't know.

But, God's wife is named "Natalie". His father's name is PapaG, His mother's name is "Gamma". And, of course his son's name is "Jasper". Just kidding, his son's name is Jesus, of course.
