Build your own, see Genesis 6 14-16 for instructions. But you'll need
a source of gopher wood. I doubt it's listed in Plantfinder.

What's a cubit?

/Cosby

I'd be more sympathetic, but here in the northeastern American colonies we
had our 40 days and nights of rain last month.

'about' 18 inches. It was in fact the measure from the elbow to the tip of
the fingers

:-(( Unless Sacha knows different

No! No! Proper translation was 'Go for wood.'

Some kids built one for a school play, it had four levels and
everything...after the play was over they decided it was too big to move so
they filled it with large tanks full of fish from the local pond, as a sort
of cold water aquarium.





















It's a multi-storey carp ark
:-p

You've found some more commandments?.....

The Ark itself was a small box made of acacia wood, overlaid with gold. It
measured 1.15 metres long, 0.7 metres wide and 0.7 metres high. It was
carried by two long bars, also made of acacia wood overlaid with gold.

Or bought some chickens?

Or had some rain?

That's the Ark Of The Covenant, not Noah's Ark

Noah's was bigger, it contained 'a pair of each beast that walketh on the
land and each insect that creepeth on the ground, and yea, it did stink
inside on a hotteth day'

True.

Oh you mean this one...
So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with
pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450
feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.......

Doesn't anyone force small children to read the bible, test them on
it, and whip them if they make mistakes? Shocking.

"Of every clean beast thou shall take by sevens, the male and his
female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his
female.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and his female: ..."

I should have known better to start this one in urg....... ;-) But by
clean beasts I imagine they mean 'not swine'. I'm happy to say that today
has dawned bright, golden, dry and not windy. One of the dogs has been sick
everywhere but heaven forbid life should be perfect!

No, there is a definition elsewhere (in two places):

"Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the
cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat."

"And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into
two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat."

Let's not go into the equally arcane rules for other types of
animal. The one rule that really confuses me is:

"But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall
be an abomination unto you."

Yer whaa?
