ἐπισυνάγων ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτόν, καὶ εἰς πῆχυν συντελέσεις αὐτὴν ἄνωθεν· τὴν δὲ θύραν τῆς κιβωτοῦ ποιήσεις ἐκ πλαγίων· κατάγαια διώροφα καὶ τριώροφα ποιήσεις αὐτήν.
Three built-up unique LXX-only adjectives cluster here: κατάγαιος (“underground/lower”), διῶροφος (“two-storied”), and τριῶροφος (“three-storied”) — none appear anywhere in the New Testament, all get honest hand-authored notes. The picture: a vessel of three internal decks, tapering to a cubit-wide roofline at the top, entered by a door in its side.
