What Hebrew name is commonly translated as Noah's Ark in Jewish tradition?

The Hebrew name commonly translated as Noah’s Ark is Tevat Noach.

In Hebrew, Noah’s Ark is תיבת נח, transliterated as Tevat Noach or Teibat Noach. The first word, teva, means a box, chest, or vessel, while Noach is the Hebrew form of Noah. The phrase therefore identifies the vessel as “Noah’s box” or “Noah’s vessel,” rather than using a Hebrew word equivalent to a modern ship name.

The same Hebrew noun teva is used for the basket in which the infant Moses is placed in Exodus 2. That parallel has prompted discussion about how both stories portray a vulnerable person preserved through water in a specially protected container.

English Bibles usually translate the phrase as “ark of Noah” or “Noah’s ark.” Transliteration can vary because Hebrew vowels and spelling conventions are represented differently in English. “Tevat Noach” is the standard concise form, while “Teibat Noach” reflects another transliteration of the same Hebrew phrase.
