I took down the architect of the Temple of Solomon, since he is indeed named in the bible- see Kings 1, Chapter 7.
I also suggest taking down Nimrod's wife, for the reason that she is not at all a biblical figure. The scriptures make no mention of such a person, not even by implication (in contrast to the patriarchs' mates, who, while not directly mentioned, their existance can be deduced from the fact their children are mentiond). The very dubious source cited makes for another concideration. Harvest day fool 18:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I Kings 7 calls him Hiram of Tyre; the full name Hiram Abif is not set forth. This is a judgment call. The legend that has Semiramis being the wife of Nimrod was something I added later, mostly on account of its notoriety. Smerdis of Tlön 20:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, he is most certainly not a nameless biblical figure. Harvest day fool 21:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The serpent

The unnamed serpent in Genesis is named as Satan in Revelations

[edit] 70 Disciples

I don't know how to add things to articles, but there is a wikipedia article that gives a list of names of the 70 Disciples sent out by Jesus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventy_Disciples 128.100.110.88 (talk) 17:42, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
