Naamah ((ヘブライ語:נַעֲמָה) ''Na‘ămāh'') is an individual mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in . A descendant of Cain, she was the only mentioned daughter of Lamech and Zillah and their youngest child; her brother was Tubal-cain, while Jabal and Jubal were her half-brothers, sons of Lamech's other wife Adah. == Theories == Gordon Wenham notes that the reason "she should be picked out for special mention remains obscure,"〔Gordon Wenham, Genesis 1-15 (Word, 1987), 114.〕 while R. R. Wilson suggests that the narrator simply wished to offer a balanced genealogy by noting that both of Lamech's wives had two children.〔R. R. Wilson, ''Genealogy and History in the Biblical World'' (Yale University Press, 1977), 144.〕 The early Jewish ''midrash'' Genesis Rabba (23.3) 〔 * (Sacred Texts: Judaism: The Bereshith or Genesis Rabba ), a selection of sayings from the work translated into English by Samuel Rapaport. .〕 identifies this Naamah (the daughter of Lamech and sister of Tubal-cain) as the wife of Noah (see Rashi's commentary on Genesis 4:22), while some Jewish traditions associate her with singing.〔 However, a Sethite Naamah is named as the wife of Noah, and a daughter of Enoch, Noah's grandfather, in the mediaeval ''midrash'' . The 17th century theologian John Gill identified Naamah instead with the name of the wife of Ham, son of Noah, whom he believed may have become confused with Noah's wife. See Wives aboard the Ark. The demon Naamah is identified with this person in some Kabbalistic traditions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naamah (Genesis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
