Noah certainly had a wife with one brief reference to her in the book of Genesis. Though Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, were named in the Bible she was not. Jewish tradition states her name is Naamah which means “the beautiful one” or the “the pleasant one”.

From Naamah’s name and the lack of scripture regarding her it can be concluded she was indeed pleasant and easy going in spirit. She would have to have been to endure the ridicule their neighbors must have lobbed at them for building the Ark in a place where it could not possibly float.

Naamah undoubtably was beautiful though the Bible does not speak of her beauty directly. Her generation was not far from the first woman to walk the earth - Eve. Eve was of course perfect in every way, including beauty, having been literally crafted by God’s hand. Though sin had entered the world through her and Adam that perfection would take time to degrade. Naamah’s inherited beauty was not diluted by time or sin as attested to by the scripture prior to the introduction of Noah in the book of Genesis.

When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

We know that Noah was 500 years old when he became a father but we do not know Naamah’s age. It would not be difficult to image she was much younger than Noah and maybe even hundreds of years younger. Human’s aged slower then so Noah may have been just as handsome at 500 as he was at 50.

Christian scholars believe that human longevity then was due to a canvas of thick cloud that surrounded the globe and helped block the harmful aging rays of the sun. After the flood that layer of protection was gone. Hence shortening the days of men and introducing imperfections into the mix of the reproduction chain.

The Lord God certainly blessed Noah with a beautiful wife both externally and internally. For her to endure the many month’s within the Ark stowed-up with hundreds of noisy stinky animals and critters is a testimony to her character. Plus the harsh reality that all she knew in life had been destroyed and swept away by great waters. The Bible certainly would not have held back if Naamah’s character was anything but pleasant as other wives that were not so pleasant have been documented in scripture.
