The opening as it read in 2025
Nameless female in the Bible Noah 's wife is one of the four wives aboard Noah's Ark . While nameless in the Bible (Genesis 4:22; Gen. 7:7), apocryphal literature lists 103 variations of her name and personality. Some apocryphal literature identified her with Naamah , the daughter of Lamech , and thus a descendant of Cain , but the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit states that Noah's wife was one of his "own kindred" ( Tobit 4:12 ). In the Dead Sea Scrolls , she is named Emzara. It can also be found in the book of Genesis saying “Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. And Adah bore Jabal . . . his brother’s name was Jubal . . . And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain . . . and the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah. Revue de Qumrân . 24 (93): 49– 59.
