14 So make yourself an ark of cypress "wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. [4]

16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit "high all around. "Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
