καὶ οὕτως ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτόν· τριακοσίων πήχεων τὸ μῆκος τῆς κιβωτοῦ, καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεων τὸ πλάτος, καὶ τριάκοντα πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς.
Exact dimensions: 300 × 50 × 30 cubits. A cubit runs roughly 44–52 cm (17–20 in), so the ark comes to something like 133 × 22 × 13 meters — a vessel comparable in length to a modern ocean liner, and (per its 30:5:3 length:breadth:height ratio) a notably stable, seaworthy proportion by any era’s naval standards.
