Azurad

And she bare him a son in the fifth year thereof, and he called his name Abba.

And he took unto himself a wife, and her name was Azurad, the daughter of Nebrog, in the thirty-second jubilee, in the seventh week,

in the

third year thereof.

Other ancient texts also contribute to this mosaic.

In the Book of Jubilees, an ancient writing whose roots go back centuries before Christ, Nimrod appears more discreetly, mentioned as the father of Azurad.

And here, an unexpected connection emerges.

Azurad, according to this account, would have been the wife of Eber and the mother of Peleg.

If this tradition is considered, Nimrod would be linked, even indirectly, to the very lineage that would later give rise to Abraham, an intriguing possibility because it connects a figure often associated with rebellion to the same line that would later be chosen for a redemptive purpose.

In addition, some ancient traditions associate him with the peoples of ancient Sumer.

And she bare him a son in the fifth year thereof, and he called his name Eber.

And he took unto himself a wife, and her name was Azurad, the daughter of Nebrod, in the thirty-second jubilee, in the seventh week in the third year thereof.

And in the sixth year thereof she bare him a son, and he called his name Peleg, for in the days when he was born the children of Noah began to divide the earth amongst themselves.

For this reason he called his name Peleg.
