in the ark story,who was noahs wife,it was not ''joan of'' as someone suggested?

Answer 1

According to Jewish Oral Tradition and Midrash it was Emzara (or) Na'amah. By all accounts she was his first cousin by his father's brother (his paternal uncle). It was also a TRUE LOVE marriage.

Answer 2

The noah story was a plagorist rip off of the story of Gilgamesh, which came from folk tales of those who appeared to have survived not a world flood but the creation of the black sea when a small area of land that is near where Istanbul is now formed a natural dam which effectively burst so the Mediteranean flooded a valley where the black sea is now.

People in those days thought a trip to spain was half way around the world, most only traveled to the nearest town. So this disaster would be pretty impressive.


hence the survivors telling the epic, ending up gilgamesh story and like many things (ie easter) the christins nicked it (bit like the americans do now) and turned it into the noah story...


But was only ever a story as how the hell would you get all the animals on eath on a tiny boat... be real

Answer 3

I think you're getting Noah and the Ark mixed up with Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc, also known as Jeanne d'Arc,[1] (c.1412 Р30 May 1431)[2] was a national heroine of France and is a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. She asserted that she had visions from God which told her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orl̩ans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she overcame the light regard of veteran commanders and lifted the siege in only nine days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims and settled the disputed succession to the throne.

The renewed French confidence outlasted her own brief career. She refused to leave the field when she was wounded during an attempt to recapture Paris that autumn. Hampered by court intrigues, she led only minor companies from then onward and fell prisoner at a skirmish near Compiègne the following spring. A politically motivated trial convicted her of heresy. The English regent John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford had her burnt at the stake in Rouen. She had been the heroine of her country at the age of seventeen and died at just nineteen. Some twenty-four years later Pope Callixtus III reopened the case and a new finding overturned the original conviction. Her piety to the end impressed the retrial court. Pope Benedict XV canonized her on 16 May 1920.[3]

Joan of Arc has remained an important figure in Western culture. From Napoleon to the present, French politicians of all leanings have invoked her memory. Major writers and composers who have created works about her include Shakespeare, Voltaire, Schiller, Verdi, Tchaikovsky, Twain, Shaw, Brecht, and Honegger. Depictions of her continue in film, television, and song.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

The Bible does not give us the name of Noah's wife. There are no historical records we can trust or ancient traditions that give us her name either. However, there is an unreliable, and very speculative document published by a religious cult entitled the Book of Abraham. In that book they claim her name is Namaah. This book appears to be of modern origin and not from ancient times.

Answer 6

Mrs. Noah is undoubtedly one of the most significant women in Bible history -- yet we have no record of her name. She is merely referred to as Noahs wife the five times she is mentioned (6:18; 7:7, 13; 8:16, 18).

Answer 7

Noah wife name was not given in the story.

Answer 8

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.

God Bless You

Answer 9

What was Noah's wife's name?
According to the Book of Jubilees, "And in the twenty-fifth jubilee Noah took to himself a wife, and her name was Emzara, the daughter of Rake'el, the daughter of his father's brother, in the first year in the fifth week and in the third year thereof she bare him Shem, in the fifth year thereof she bare him Ham, and in the first year in the sixth week she bare him Japheth." According to a children's book written by an ordained Jewish rabbi - Noah's wife's name was Naamah. The book's title is "A Prayer for the Earth: The Story of Naamah, Noah's Wife". The author is Sandy Eisenberg Sasso who is well-known.

Answer 10

Why isn't this on the jokes and riddles page. Good one "Joan of Ark" Ha Ha!

But seriously, we do not know her name for certain.

Answer 11

She is not given a name in the bible, although some apocryphal documents suggest Naa'm or similar. She was a woman, and in the godly culture of the Old testament, didn't count as important enough to be named!
