NETBible

Make a roof for the ark and finish it, leaving 18 inches 1  from the top. 2  Put a door in the side of the ark, and make lower, middle, and upper decks.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “a cubit.”

2 tn Heb “to a cubit you shall finish it from above.” The idea is that Noah was to leave an 18-inch opening from the top for a window for light.
