Noah
In the Bible, the name "Noah" (Hebrew: נוֹחַ, Noach) is derived from the root word meaning "rest" or "comfort." This etymology is significant in the context of his life and role in the biblical narrative. In Genesis 5:29, when Noah was born, his father Lamech expressed hope that Noah would bring relief from the toil of farming and the curse of the ground, stating, "This one will bring us rest from our work and from the painful toil of our hands." The name reflects the anticipation of a deliverer who would alleviate the burdens placed upon humanity.Noah is best known for his role in the story of the Flood, where he is described as a righteous man who found favor in the eyes of God (Genesis 6:8-9). He was commanded by God to build an ark to preserve his family and pairs of every living creature from the impending flood that would cleanse the earth of its wickedness (Genesis 6:14-22). After the flood, God established a covenant with Noah, promising never to destroy the earth by flood again, symbolized by the rainbow (Genesis 9:11-17). Thus, Noah's life and name symbolize both a judgment against sin and the hope for renewal and restoration.
