Gopher wood. Many modern English translations tend to favor cypress. גֹ֔פֶר gōper - Strongs: H1613.
From Easton: Gopher - a tree from the wood of which Noah was directed to build the ark (Genesis 6:14). It is mentioned only there. The LXX. render this word by "squared beams," and the Vulgate by "planed wood." Other versions have rendered it "pine" and "cedar;" but the weight of authority is in favour of understanding by it the cypress tree, which grows abundantly in Chaldea and Armenia.
Verses:
- Genesis 6:14
