What is gopher wood?
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.

Was Noah's ark built from pine wood olive wood maple wood or gopher wood?
According to the Bible, God told Noah to make an ark out of 'gopher' wood, a wood entirely unknown to scholars today. Based on the etymology of the word and the widespread use of reed boats in very early times, some scholars say that gopher wood meant reeds. It has been noted that boats made of reeds were quite seaworthy and could not be engulfed by the waves. Of course, this assumes that the biblical story of Noah's Ark was based on much earlier legends originating at a time before timber construction became normal.
