The theologian John Gill (1697–1771) wrote in his Exposition of the Bible of this tradition "that the name of Shem's wife was Zalbeth, or, as other copies, Zalith or Salit; that the name of Ham's Nahalath; and of Japheth's Aresisia."

Noa was also prominent in the Old Testament and was one of the five daughters of Zelophehad. As the story goes, Noa and her sisters influenced a new law that allowed women to inherit property, despite traditionary customs at the time.

Shem's descendants: Genesis chapter 10 verses 21–30 gives one list of descendants of Shem. In chapter 11 verses 10–26 a second list of descendants of Shem names Abraham and thus the Arabs and Israelites.

All that is said of Shem's wife in the Bible is that she was on the ark and she had sons. The rest, including her barrenness and then her healing at the hands of Methuselah, was added in the film.

Ila is barren until Noah's grandfather, Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins), blesses her. She and Shem immediately have sex, and she becomes pregnant, setting up the central conflict in the latter half of the movie.

Assuming the premise that Melchizedek was Shem, he would have been 465 years old at the time and Abram was 75 years of age. Chazalic literature unanimously identify Melchizedek as Shem son of Noah (Targum Yonathan to Genesis chapter 14, Genesis Rabbah 46:7, Babylonian Talmud to Tractate Nedarim 32b).

In the Bible
Genesis 5:32 indicates that Noah became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth at the age of 500 years old, but does not list in detail their specific years. (Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood in Genesis 7.)

Miriam and Aaron were jealous because Moses had two wives and because more of his attention would have been taken by the newly married woman. It is not unusual in an African setting for relatives and friends to be jealous when husbands are too occupied with two or three wives.

Lilith and Eve - wives of Adam.

I speak this evening about what it means to be a daughter of God. The new declaration of the Relief Society begins, “We are beloved spirit daughters of God.” To be a daughter of God means that you are the offspring of Deity, literal descendants of a Divine Father, inheriting godly attributes and potential.

In last Sunday's sermon, I noted that Jesus had David's and Solomon's blood running through His veins. By implication then, he had not only Hebrew blood, but also Moabite and Ammonite blood.

Noah saw his grandsons up to the tenth generation, for he died when Abraham was fifty-eight years old. Shem outlived Abraham by thirty-five years.

name, fame

Meaning:name, fame. Shem is a boy's name of Hebrew origin that means "name" or "fame." If you can see your little one making waves on the big stage, Shem is a unique name that is sure to stand out. Alternatively, if you want to express your faith, you can use Shem as a nod to Noah's first-born son in the Bible.

Manoah's wife gave birth to Samson, who became a deliverer and judge. Elizabeth gave birth to Jon the Baptist, the prophet who led the way for Jesus. The biblical women who experienced infertility did their best to be faithful in a fallen and sinful world… even when the answers to their prayers were delayed.

Rebekah

Genesis 25:22-28 New Century Version (NCV)
The LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your body, and two groups of people will be taken from you. One group will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.” When the time came, Rebekah gave birth to twins. The first baby was born red.

Abram

So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian maidservant Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress.
