Episode 810
The provided text, an excerpt from a Wikipedia article titled "Noah's wife," examines the identity of the nameless female character who was aboard Noah's Ark, according to the Bible. It notes that while the book of Genesis mentions her existence, it does not name her, a gap that apocryphal literature attempted to fill with over a hundred variations of names and personalities. Specifically, some literature suggests she was Naamah, a descendant of Cain, while other sources like the Dead Sea Scrolls name her Emzara. The article further discusses Mandaean religious texts where a figure named Nuraita (or similar spellings) is cited as Noah's or possibly Shem's wife, highlighting contradictions within those specific texts. Ultimately, the source surveys the different names and identities attributed to this biblical figure across various religious and historical writings.
