In the biblical account of Noah's Ark, Noah built a window above the ark's side.
Genesis instructs Noah to make an opening or window for the ark and to finish it to a specified height. The wording varies among English translations, with some describing a roof opening, a skylight, or a window. The passage also says Noah opened this feature when he released the raven and the dove.
This detail is separate from the ark's door, which Genesis mentions elsewhere. The narrative therefore includes both an entrance and an upper opening, although it does not provide a modern architectural plan explaining their exact shape.
Translation differences arise because the underlying Hebrew term and its interpretation are debated. “Window” is the conventional answer in many English versions and in common retellings, but readers may encounter “opening” or “light” in other translations. The core fact is that the ark had an upper opening used during the Flood account.
