Greetings, llcjwbek Welcome to Forum. It does help to be very specific in your questions because there are a lot of people here who take things in different ways, and the Bible is so broad in scope. I will answer to the best of the ability that God gives me. The KJV answers your question in 3 different verses, in Gen 6:15, The ark is spoken of is the sanctuary for the animals during the great flood. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. Now, a Cubit is said to be the length of the section of a man's arm between the elbow and the tip of his outstretched fingers. But how long was Noah's arm? This is commonly held to be (in U.S.A.) at 17ft 6 inches, which would make the ark 5250" long, or 437 feet and 6 inches. The breadth, or width would be 73 feet, and the height would be 43 feet 9 inches. The other options for your answer, and you can do the math, since I do not know if you are using the metric system or not, are: Exd 25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. Exd 37:1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: This ark is of course meant to be the sanctuary for the Lord, that He may dwell with His people, as in Exod 25:8 I hope this helps, if you need more info, don't be shy ;o) Keliy |
