“Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.”
Genesis 6:14 (BSB)
Context Reading
12And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways. 13Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth. 14Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. 16You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.
