GOPHER WOOD

The material from which Noah was instructed to build the ark. Heb. ʿăṣê-gōper appears only at Gen. 6:14, and no cognates have been found in other ancient Near Eastern languages. Some scholars associate it with the construction of the Mesopotamian kufa boat, which was made of branches or reeds and palm leaves and sealed with bitumen (cf. Gilgamesh XI.20-69). Most likely this resinous wood comes from some variety of conifer, probably a cypress.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
