But how much storage space does this amount to? Well, 550 x 91.7 x 55 = 2,773,925 cubic feet. Thus, the ark could have been up to 550 feet long, 91.7 feet wide and 55 feet high.

A cubit is an ancient unit of measurement, the length of the forearm from the elbow to the longest finger (the term “cubit” comes from the Latin word “cubitum” which means “elbow.” The Hebrew word for “cubit” is “ammah.” As everybody’s arms are different lengths, this unit may seem a bit ambiguous to some, but scholars generally agree that it represents somewhere between 17 and 22 inches (43-56 centimeters).

What about food? There had to be enough room to store enough food to last Noah and his family (8 in all), plus all of the animals, at least a year (see Genesis 7:11 8:13-18) and maybe more, depending on how long it took for vegetation to grow back.Kim enjoys sports, especially basketball, writing books for children, cooking, and being a mom to her three children, Austin, Morgan and Bailey.
