Bible Question: how long did it take Noah to build the arc? |
Bible Answer: Rabbis, quoted in the Dr.Hertz's translation of the Hebrew Pentateuch (The Chumash), contend that it took 120 years to build the ark (Hebrew:tevah)in order to give Noah's contemporaries an opportunity to repent. One version is that Noah was told to "grow the trees" for the cypress to build with in order to take more time. God is described in Exodus 34:6 as "long-suffering and slow to anger (Hebrew:erech appayim). Clearly, He could have intervened in a supernatural way to save Noah and his family. The huge ark was a sign to all that served as a warning to all. |
