According to Genesis 6:15, how many cubits high was Noah’s Ark?

According to Genesis 6:15, Noah’s Ark was 30 cubits high.

The height forms the third part of Genesis’s dimensional description: 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. Depending on the cubit used, 30 cubits is often estimated at approximately 14 metres, or 45 feet. That conversion is not exact because ancient cubits varied.

Genesis 6:16 then says the Ark was to have lower, second, and third decks. The height therefore relates to a multilevel interior rather than a single open space. The text also mentions a window or opening and a door, although translations differ in how they render some architectural terms.

The Ark’s height is sometimes confused with its width because both appear in the same verse. The number 30 belongs to the vertical measurement. The dimensions are biblical measurements, not archaeological measurements of a surviving object; no physical Ark has been verified by mainstream archaeology.
