Genesis 5:29
And he named him Noah, saying, “May this one comfort us in the labor and toil of our hands caused by the ground that the Lord has cursed.”
Note Noah sounds like the Hebrew for rest or comfort.
And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed.
Note Noah: Gr. Noe: that is Rest, or, Comfort
