 גֹּ֫פֶר noun [masculine] gopher, only in עֲצֵיגֹּֿפֶר Genesis 6:14 (P), wood of which the ark was made (word dubious; Thes compare כֹּפֶר & so Rob Ges (hence ' pitch-wood, resinous wood'), compare Di; Lag Semitica i. 64; Symmict. ii. 93, BN 217 ff. thinks word not original, but inferred from גפרית, and substituted here for גפרית by copyist, or editor. compare following).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

גֹּפֶר Genesis 6:14 prop. pitch, i.q. כֹּפֶר as I suppose; and I interpret עֲצֵי גֹפֶר pitch trees, resinous trees, such as the pine, fir, cypress, cedar, and other trees of the kind used in ship-building; see גָּפְרִית. Of the moderns, Bochart (Phaleg. i. 4) and Celsius (Hierob. 328) are not amiss in understanding specially κυπάρισσος, the cypress; not without reason appealing also to the similarity of letters.
