Rabbinic literature
«/b»The «u»«i»Genesis Rabba «/u»«/i» «u»midrash «/u» lists «u»«b»Naamah «/u»«/b», the daughter of «u»Lamech «/u» and sister of «u»Tubal-Cain «/u», as the wife of Noah, as does the eleventh century Jewish commentator «u»Rashi «/u».
In the mediaeval midrash «u»Book of Jasher «/u» «u»Chapter 5:15 «/u», the name of Noah's wife is said to be «b»Naamah«/b», daughter of «u»Enoch «/u»; that would mean «b»Noah married his great-aunt«/b».
Gill and others evidently regarded the name «i»Naamah«/i» as resulting from confusion between the names of Ham's wife and Noah's wife in some traditions.

«b»Book of Jubilees
«/b»In the «u»«i»Book of Jubilees «/u»«/i», known to have been in use from the late 2nd century BC, the names of the wives of «u»Noah «/u», «u»Shem «/u», «u»Ham «/u» and «u»Japheth «/u» are as follows:
«tab» Wife of Noah - «b»Emzara«/b», daughter of Rake'el, son of «u»Methuselah «/u»
«tab»Wife of Shem - «b»Sedeqetelebab«/b»
«tab»Wife of Ham - «b»Ne'elatama'uk«/b» or «b»Na'eltama'uk«/b»
«tab»Wife of Japheth - '«b»Adataneses«/b»
It adds that the three sons after some years struck out in different directions from the original camp near «u»Mount Ararat «/u» and founded three villages bearing the names of these three mothers of the human race.
