PENINNAH: (Hebrew= )

Etymology: coral

one of the two wives of Elkanah (1 Samuel 1:2-7)

The other wife was Hannah, who bore no children for many years. Peninnah apparently was mentally cruel to Hannah and “provoked her sore” about her inability to have children. After much earnest prayer and a promise to God, Hannah bore Samuel who became a great priest of Israel.

PETER'S WIFE:

​

Peters wife, and Jesus brothers, are two subjects the members of the Roman Catholics religion do not like to discuss much.

Matthew 8:14-18; Mark 1:29-34; Luke 4:38-41

In the references to Peter’s nameless wife attention is focused upon her equally name-less mother. Although the Roman Catholic Church, falsely claiming Peter as its first pope, would like to discredit the fact that the Apostle had a wife, the Scripture is emphatic in its assertion that he had both a wife and that his wife’s mother, living with them, was healed by Jesus. From Paul we learn that Peter’s wife accompanied her husband on some of his missionary journeys, caring for his many needs (1 Corinthians 9:5). We do not know why the name of this noble woman who was a faithful partner of Peter during the days he fished for a living, and then during the long years of his apostleship, is hidden from us. Peter’s writings in the New Testament were written after his surrender to the claims of Christ, but behind him, as behind many men attaining eminence, is a sympathetic, discreet and understanding woman.

Etymology:

The princess who adopted the infant Moses (q.v.), Exodus 2:10. She is twice mentioned in the New Testament (Acts 7:21: Hebrews 11:24). It would seem that she was alive and in some position of influence in the court when Moses was compelled to flee from Egypt, and thus for forty years he had in some way been under her influence.
