Accordingly from the bible Noah made a boat out of gopher wood.
gopher wood
Noahs arc was made of Cyprees wood.
if you read the Bible- Noah did
One thought:The scripture at Genesis 6:14 says:" . . .Make for yourself an ark out of wood of a resinous tree..". The word for 'resinous tree' is literally translated 'wood of gopher'....or 'gopher wood'. Many people feel it was a type of cypress tree which was used in that area for centuries in ship building, by the Phoenicians and Alexander the Great. It is resistant to mold, and some items made from it have been known to last over 1000 years.
The ark of the Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible was constructed of Gopher wood.
In theLebanon
First mention of Noah is when he was about 500 yrs old. he finished building the ark when he was 600 yrs old. So he worked on the ark for approximately 100 years. The ark was made of wood, but this must be a special wood that does not dry up, shrink and do not rot, for 100 years. There are no known tree today that shows this characteristics. It may be extinct now and we may never know what kind of wood Noah used.
Answer 1Gopher wood is only mentioned once in the Bible- it was the word used for the wood that made up Noah's Ark. No one really knows what Gopher wood was, as the name has long fallen into disuse. However, it is likely that the wood was either Cypress or Cedar - possibly Cedar of Lebanon which grows abundantly in that area. This fits well with the properties needed for gopher wood if it was used foir the ark - that it should be durable and rot resistant - as cedar fits this description well.Answer 2Actually, there is a Gopher tree...there are plenty and they are in a little town in North Florida, I grew up there and Gopher trees do exist, it is the only area in the world that Gopher trees grow, and no they are not "Cypress trees" they are indeed Gopher trees..Note on the above:It must be realised, as far as the reader is concerned, that, contrary to the above, the Florida 'Gopher', while sharing a name with the Biblical tree, is not the same species as the Biblical Gopher. The Florida Gopher - or Torreya taxifolia - is native to Eastern Asia and North America only, and not the Middle East. The Biblical 'gopher ( גפר, gofer) wood has several possible identities, as listed above: cypress, or cedar or even pine. One other theory, although unlikely, is that the Hebrew word 'gofer' is a corruption of 'kofer' meaning 'pitch' so that 'gopher wood' simply means wood of a unspecified type that has been made waterproof by coating it with thick tar or pitch.
