In preparation for the Deluge, Noah, his wife, and their three sons and their wives spent 50 or 60 years building an ark ​ — a huge vessel with a volume of about 1,400,000 cubic feet [40,000 cu m].
Veeuputuseks valmistudes kulus Noal, tema naisel, nende kolmel pojal ja nende naistel 50 – 60 aastat, et ehitada laeva – suurt veesõidukit, mille mahutavus oli umbes 40 000 kuupmeetrit.
