The Dimensions of Noah's Ark
April 30, 2019
Alastair Roberts
Within this video, I reflect upon the significance of the dimensions of Noah's Ark. Within the video I reference this article by Gordon Wenham: https://www.godawa.com/chronicles_of_the_nephilim/Articles_By_Others/Wenham-Coherence_Flood_Narrative.pdf. For more on the relationship between the Noah story and the Exodus—though still only scratching the surface—see this: https://alastairadversaria.com/2013/02/14/noahs-exodus-40-days-of-exoduses-01/.
