Her name, which means "maiden" or "young woman" in Hebrew, appears in the context of family lineage, highlighting her role within the ancestral history of Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Naarah is mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/4-5.htm">1 Chronicles 4:5-6</a>, which provides a brief account of her family connections. The passage states: "Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah. Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the descendants of Naarah."<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b> <br>Naarah is identified as one of the two wives of Ashhur, who is noted as the father of Tekoa. Tekoa is a town in the territory of Judah, and Ashhur's lineage is significant in the chronicling of the tribe's history. The mention of Naarah alongside Helah, Ashhur's other wife, underscores the importance of family structures and lineage in the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Descendants:</b> <br>The sons of Naarah—Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari—are listed as her descendants. While the Bible does not provide extensive details about each of these individuals, their inclusion in the genealogical record serves to establish the continuity of the tribe of Judah and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people through their lineage.<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Significance:</b> <br>In the biblical context, genealogies serve not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's covenantal faithfulness. Naarah's inclusion in the genealogy of Judah highlights the role of women in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. Although the details of her life are sparse, her mention signifies her contribution to the lineage that would eventually lead to the birth of King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ, the Messiah.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Naarah's presence in the biblical genealogies, though brief, is a testament to the intricate tapestry of relationships and divine purposes woven throughout Scripture. Her account, like many others in the Bible, reflects the broader narrative of God's interaction with His people and the unfolding of His divine plan through generations.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Naarah</span><p>Naarai, young person<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Naarah</span><p>(<i>a maiden</i>), the second wife of Ashur; a descendant of Judah.
