FIRST FEMALES RECORDED AFTER EVE

“Genesis Chapters 4-7”

FIRST FEMALE NAMES RECORDED

AFTER EVE ~  ADAH, ZILLAH, NAAMAH

Genesis 4:19-24

    It is interesting where we find the first women names following Eve’s.  Cain has murdered his brother Abel and been banished from the land of Eden to the land of Nod east of Eden.

        Cain’s lineage begins and he has a grandson down the line whose name is Lamech; and Lamech took two wives for himself, one named ADAH and the other named ZILLAH.

What we learn from these ladies is that they were the mothers of nomadic herdsmen; 

the father of all who play the lyre and the flute and the maker of all kinds of bronze and iron tools…

and, Zillah also had a daughter named NAAMAH.

Their story ends with Lamech telling them to make sure he is avenged for killing a young man for striking and wounding him.  

This would make him the 2^nd murderer since Creation!

We don’t have any more female names recorded until the Flood and Noah.  I find it amazing that the entire population of the earth is destroyed except for Noah, his wife, his 3 sons and their wives; and these 4 women are to begin the re-population of the earth and they are never given names!!!

 However, because I think they deserve recognition I have named them:  

MRS. NOAH, MRS. SHEM, MRS. HAM and MRS. JAPHETH…

…We salute you for giving life to the ends of the world!
