In the Book of Genesis, what is the Ark's stated width in cubits?

In the Book of Genesis, the Ark’s stated width is 50 cubits.

Genesis 6:15 gives the vessel’s dimensions as 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. These proportions describe a long, rectangular vessel rather than a conventional ship designed for navigation. Genesis also says the Ark has rooms, a roof, and three decks, and that it is coated with pitch inside and out.

The exact modern length of a biblical cubit is uncertain, which is why translations and reconstructions produce different measurements. The 50-cubit width, however, is the number stated in the text and does not depend on choosing one modern conversion. The dimensions have inspired engineering models and replicas, but the narrative’s purpose is theological and literary rather than a surviving technical blueprint.
