How did Noah build the ark?
Hebrews 11:7
7 By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world; and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.
Genesis 6:14-16
14 Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without. 15 And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Genesis 6:22
22 And Noe did all things which God commanded him.
Catholic view (generated):
Noah built the ark as instructed by God, following precise dimensions given in Genesis 6:15. The construction likely required significant time, effort, and resources, but Noah obediently carried out God's command to save himself, his family, and a remnant of all living creatures during the flood.
