One Window on the Ark
Junior Level Intro:
Handout: One Window on the Ark
outline:
activity: Create an ark from paper, asking students to help design it. Have them all make their own. discussion: In verse 14 the wood commanded to be used was "gopher wood". As to what kind of wood that is only guesses can be made. I have never read where anyone has claimed to know definitely what it was. Whatever it was it was the right wood to use as God designated for that wood to be used. It would have been strong enough, buoyant enough and easy enough to work for Noah and his sons to build it in the 120 years alloted to him before the flood (Gen. 6:3). When you think of the size of the ark and the magnitude of the project you can see that it could easily take a century to build such a structure with so few working on it. Serving others prayer:
comments:
Genesis 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark,
and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of
the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower,
second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
