How Does The Book of Mormon Use a Hebrew Pun on King Noah's Name? (Knowhy #406)
KnoWhy Videos | 02 min
“Yea, and thus they were supported in their laziness, and in their idolatry, and in their whoredoms, by the taxes which king Noah had put upon his people; thus did the people labor exceedingly to support iniquity.”
Mosiah 11:6
The Book of Mormon inverts the puns on Noah’s name found in Genesis when punning on King Noah’s name. In Hebrew, the name Noah was associated with divine rest. The story of Noah in Genesis repeatedly connects the name noah with the word nwh (to “rest”) and the similar word nhm (to “regret” or “be sorry”; “console oneself,” or “comfort” someone). The Book of Mormon uses the same wordplays on the name Noah that the bible does. However, it uses them to caricature King Noah and his priests, depicting them as the opposite of the biblical Noah.
