Description
Who was Naamah?
Naamah is mentioned in Gen.4.22 as the daughter of Lamech and his wife Zillah, and the sister of Tubal-cain. In some traditions she became the wife of Noah. She appears in the genealogy of Cain, which traces the descendants of Adam and Eve's firstborn son.
In the context of the passage, Lamech is portrayed as a powerful and violent man, known for his polygamy and his boastful speech about his acts of vengeance (Gen.4.19-24). Naamah's brother, Tubal-cain, is described as a craftsman skilled in making tools of bronze and iron.
The mention of Naamah in this genealogy is unusual, as women are rarely named in such lists unless they play a significant role in the narrative. However, no further details are provided about Naamah's life, character, or accomplishments.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
