Gopher Wood

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

The unknown wood of Noah’s ark

(Gen. 6:14¹⁴Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. (Genesis 6:14)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The wood with which Noah built the Ark. For so large a vessel it must have been a strong wood, but “gopher” is the Hebrew word and it is not known to what it refers (Gen. 6:14¹⁴Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. (Genesis 6:14)).
