I have been told that there is a WOMAN in the bible named Noah. does anyone know what book/chapter/etc she would be in?
 
And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters: and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah." Numbers, chapter 26, verse 33. Or thereabouts.😃

Here ya go.
Num 27:1-2–Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. (NKJV)

The two names are totally different in Hebrew. Noah the ark-itect was Noakh. Noah the daughter of Zelophehad was NoXah, where the X stands for “ain”, a consonant that doesn’t exist in English, and the -ah is the -ah of the typical feminine Hebrew noun (susah = mare, Torah = law, mitsvah = commandment, etc.)
 
She was one of a family of sisters who petitioned Moses for the right to inherit land. He granted women the right to inherit land from their fathers if they had no brothers and if they didn’t outmarry. This is when the lands had to belong to tribes; land couldn’t just be bought and sold as it is now.
 
I think there is some confusion here. I think the OP is actually referring to Noah’s wife …and her name is Joan - Joan of Ark.
