Matriarch of the Ark: Wife of Noah

A shadowy figure, she is never mentioned by name, though she is spoken of five times throughout the Flood account and specifically included in Godโ€™s instructions to Noah.

Wife of Noah

To date, anthropologists have collected between 250 to 300 such flood stories from various cultures.

Some warm to the largely comforting and hopeful philosophy that babies are born pure and innocent, and itโ€™s the morally unhealthy culture, surrounding society, that inclines us to sin. Others argue that to believe such a theory takes a person off the hookโ€”my sin is always someone elseโ€™s fault, rather than owning we are born sinful.

Noah and his family rightly understood this was a sacred moment, and they were standing upon holy ground. The great drama of creation had been portrayed before them, and they, now, represented the Adams and Eves of the new age.
