In Genesis, Noah’s Ark had a window that Noah opened before sending out the raven and the dove.
Genesis 8:6 says that after forty days Noah opened the window of the Ark that he had made. He then released the raven, followed by the dove, to test whether the waters had receded. The window is part of the Ark’s narrative description, separate from the door through which the passengers entered.
Translations vary in how they render some architectural details of the Ark. The Hebrew term used in this passage is commonly translated as “window,” although translations and commentators discuss its precise form and relationship to the Ark’s upper structure. That variation does not change the scene’s basic action: Noah opens an aperture to release birds.
This detail is often blurred with later artistic reconstructions, which may depict many windows, portholes, or roof openings. Genesis itself specifically mentions a window in the bird-release episode. The account also says Noah later removed the covering of the Ark and saw that the ground was drying.
