14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood.[a] Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits,[b] its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. 16 Make a roof[c] for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks.
