Historical Context

Lomna’s marriage to Peleg occurs in the thirty-third jubilee, a period following the division of the earth among the sons of Noah. The text states that the earth was divided in the beginning of the thirty-third jubilee. Furthermore, during the time of Peleg, the building of the city and the tower in the land of Shinar took place, with the intent to ascend into heaven. This ambition led to the confounding of the languages by the Lord, resulting in the people being scattered from the land of Shinar, which was then called Babel. Peleg himself was named because in his days the earth was divided. Therefore, Lomna became part of a family whose name was directly associated with this pivotal event of the division of the earth and the scattering of humanity after the incident at the Tower of Babel.

Narrative

Lomna’s personal narrative within the provided sources is quite limited. Her primary role in the text is as the wife of Peleg. Her marriage is mentioned in the context of the genealogical progression after the flood and occurs during the time when the children of men were actively engaged in building the city and the tower of Babel in the land of Shinar. Peleg’s name itself is significant, signifying the division of the earth. Thus, Lomna’s marriage connects her directly to this major event of the post-flood world. While the sources do not detail her actions or any specific impact she had on the events of her time, her marriage to Peleg places her within the lineage associated with a critical juncture in human history as depicted in these ancient texts.
