וַיִּקְרָ֧א אֶת־שְׁמ֛וֹ נֹ֖חַ לֵאמֹ֑ר זֶ֠ה יְנַחֲמֵ֤נוּ מִֽמַּעֲשֵׂ֙נוּ֙ וּמֵעִצְּב֣וֹן יָדֵ֔ינוּ מִן־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵֽרְרָ֖הּ יְהוָֽה׃
E ele chamou seu nome Noach, dizendo: "Este nos confortará de nossas obras e do trabalho árduo de nossas mãos, devido à terra que o Senhor amaldiçoou."
The Midrash of Philo
How it was that immediately upon the nativity of Noah his father says, "He will make us rest from labours and sorrows, and from the earth, which the Lord God has cursed?" (Genesis 5:29).
That the Worse is wont to Attack the Better
[121] When righteousness has, for some soul, given birth to a male progeny in the shape of righteous reasoning, from that soul all painful things are forthwith banished. Our witness for this shall be the birth of Noah. “Noah” means righteous, and it is said of him, “This man shall cause us to rest from our works and from the pains of our hands and from the earth which the Lord God hath cursed” (Gen. 5:29).
