pretty sure Genesis names Leah, the details about the wives is pretty clear, they are usually quite important, like Sarai/Sarah, for example, she is repeatedly the centre of the narrative, and Rebecca in the Isaac/Jacob/Esau situation

but obviously this silly book lol

ohhhh

genesis doesn't name her!

lol, ok, these apocrypha spoil me

the jews call her Na'amah, and in Jubilees she is called Emzara

Ok amazing, I'll have to go thru the other versions some day. So I definitely have some answers for Leah's mother who rolled her eyes when she heard the women weren't named :-D

yeah! her daughter is named after none other than the first wife of Israel!

i mean, come on, esther, mary, the other mary, rebecca, sarah, ffs most of the common english names are women from the bible

You're right. I'm just projecting. Is it safe to say that women are taken many starring roles in the Bible?

absolutely, and not all are bad ones like Eve, most of them are saints
