Ark
Noah's ark, a building of gopher-wood, and covered
with pitch, 300 cubits long, 50 cubits broad, and 30
cubits high (Ge 6:14-16); an oblong floating house
of three stories, with a door in the side and a
window in the roof. It was 100 years in building (Ge
5:32; 7:6). It was intended to preserve certain
persons and animals from the deluge which God
was about to bring over the earth. It contained eight
persons (Ge 7:13; 2Pe 2:5), and of all "clean"
animals seven pairs, and of "unclean" one pair, and
of birds seven pairs of each sort (Ge 7:2-3). It was
in the form of an oblong square, with flat bottom and
sloping roof. Traditions of the Deluge, by which the
race of man was swept from the earth, and of the
ark of Noah have been found existing among all
nations.

The ark of bulrushes in which the infant Moses was
laid (Ex 2:3) is called in the Hebrew teebah, a word
derived from the Egyptian teb, meaning "a chest." It
was daubed with slime and with pitch. The
bulrushes of which it was made were the papyrus
reed.

The sacred ark is designated by a different Hebrew
word, 'aron', which is the common name for a chest
or coffer used for any purpose (Ge 50:26; 2Ki
12:9-10). It is distinguished from all others by such
titles as the "ark of God" (1Sa 3:3), "ark of the
covenant" (Jos 3:6; Heb 9:4),
