What is the Hebrew name for Noah’s Ark used in the Hebrew Bible?

The Hebrew name for Noah’s Ark in the Hebrew Bible is Tevat Noach.

The Hebrew phrase תיבת נח, commonly transliterated as Tevat Noach, literally means “Noah’s box” or “Noah’s chest.” The word teva refers to the vessel in the flood story and is also used for the basket in which the infant Moses is placed in Exodus. Noach is the Hebrew form of Noah.

English Bibles generally translate the phrase as “Noah’s ark,” using “ark” in the older sense of a chest or large vessel. The Hebrew wording does not use the ordinary biblical Hebrew term for a seagoing ship. This lexical link between Noah’s vessel and Moses’ basket is often noted as a literary connection: both preserve a chosen person through dangerous waters.
