Noah's wife

While nameless in the Bible (Genesis 4:22; Gen. 7:7), apocryphal literature lists 103 variations of her name and personality.

[1] Some apocryphal literature identified her with Naamah, the daughter of Lamech,[citation needed] 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.

[2] The Book of Kings, the final book of the Mandaean Right Ginza,[3] refers to Noah's (or Shem's)[4] wife by the name Nuraita (or Nhuraitha, Anhuraita, among various other spellings).

[5] There is some contradiction between texts, and some textual ambiguity, regarding which patriarch is married to Nuraita; additionally, Anhuraita appears to be a portmanteau of Nuraita and Anhar, the wives of Noah and Shem.
