9) Lamech- meaning despairing from which we get lament or lamentation.
10) Noah- derived from "Nacham" meaning comfort or rest. Gen. 5:29
Put in order this is what they say, "Man appointed mortal sorrow, the Blessed God shall come down teaching His death shall bring despairing rest."
Even in the names, God was showing us the hope of His Son.
