In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and
Japheth, the sons of Noah
That is, on the seventeenth day of the second month; (See Gill on Genesis 7:11) the names of Noah and his three sons are expressed, but not the names of his wife, and of the wives of his sons; they are only described by their relation as follows: and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons, into the ark:
but other writers pretend to give us their names; Berosus F3 calls the wife of Noah "Tytea", the great, and Aretia, plainly from "Tit", clay, and "Aerets", the earth; and his sons' wives Pandora, Noela, and Noegla: according to Sanchoniatho F4, the name of Noah was "Epigeus", a man of the earth, see ( Genesis 9:20 ) and afterwards "Ouranus", heaven; and he had a sister whom he married, called "Ge", earth; and with this agrees the account that the Allantes give of their deities; the first of which was Uranus, and his wife's name was Titaea; who, after her death, was deified, and called "Ge" F5: so the Jewish writers say F6, the wife of Noah was called Titzia, and others say Aritzia, from the word "Eretz", earth F7; though others will have it, that she was Naamah, the daughter of Lamech: the Arabic writers F8 tell us, that the name of Noah's wife was Hancel, the daughter of Namusa, the son of Enoch; 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; who were all three the daughters of Methuselah; and they also relate F9, that when Noah entered the ark, he took the body of Adam with him, and placed it in the middle of the ark.
