According to Genesis, what is the Ark’s height in cubits?

According to Genesis, the Ark’s height is 30 cubits.

Genesis 6:15 gives the Ark three principal dimensions: 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. These figures create a length-to-width-to-height proportion of 6:1:0.6, describing a broad, stable vessel intended to survive the flood rather than a ship optimized for speed or steering.

The exact modern length of a cubit is uncertain because ancient cubits varied by culture and period. If a cubit is estimated at about 45 to 52 centimetres, 30 cubits would be approximately 13.5 to 15.6 metres. The conversion is therefore an estimate, while the biblical number itself is explicit.

The height is often confused with the Ark’s width because both are listed in the same sentence. Genesis places the height at 30 cubits, substantially less than the 50-cubit width and the 300-cubit length.
