According to Genesis, on how many levels was Noah’s Ark built?

According to Genesis, Noah’s Ark was built with three levels.

Genesis 6:16 instructs Noah to make the Ark with a lower, second, and third deck. This is the biblical basis for describing the vessel as a three-deck structure. The same verse also mentions a window and a door, adding architectural details to the construction instructions.

The three levels are separate from the Ark’s overall dimensions. Genesis gives the vessel a length of 300 cubits, a width of 50 cubits, and a height of 30 cubits, but it does not provide a detailed deck plan or specify how the animals were distributed.

Later illustrations often show many compartments, ramps, and elaborate interiors. Those artistic reconstructions go beyond what the text explicitly states. The text’s clear number is three: lower, second, and third levels.
