Biblical hapax and variety of wood

For the tree sometimes called "gopher wood", see Torreya taxifolia

Gopher wood or gopherwood is a term used once in the Bible for the substance from which Noah's ark was built. Genesis 6:14 states that Noah was to build the Ark of gofer (Hebrew: גֹפֶר), more commonly transliterated as gopher wood, a word not otherwise known in the Bible or in Hebrew. Although some English Bibles attempt a translation, older English translations, including the King James Version (17th century), leave it untranslated. The word is unrelated to the name of the North American animal known as the gopher.[1]

Identity [ edit ]

The Greek Septuagint (3rd–1st centuries BC) translated the phrase mentioning gopher wood as ἐκ ξύλων τετραγώνων (ek xúlōn tetragṓnōn), "out of squared timber".[2] Similarly, the Latin Vulgate (5th century AD) rendered it as de lignis levigatis (lævigatis, in the spelling of the Clementine Vulgate), "of timber planks". The Jewish Encyclopedia believes it was most likely a translation of the Babylonian gushure iṣ erini, cedar beams, or the Assyrian giparu, reeds.[3] The Aramaic Targum Onkelos, considered by many Jews to be an authoritative translation of the Hebrew scripture, renders this word as qadros, cedar. The Syriac Peshitta translates this word as arqa, box.[4] Many modern English translations tend to favor cypress (although otherwise the word for "cypress" in Biblical Hebrew is berosh). This was espoused (among others) by Adam Clarke, a Methodist theologian famous for his commentary on the Bible: Clarke cited the resemblance between Greek word for cypress, kuparisson and the Hebrew word gophar. Likewise the Nova Vulgata has it as de lignis cupressinis ("out of cypress wood"), in contrast to the "ligna levigata" (smoothed or planed wood) of the Clementine Vulgate. Others, noting the physical similarity between the Hebrew letters g (gimel ג‎) and k (kaf כ‎), suggest that the word may actually be kopher, the Hebrew word meaning "pitch"; thus kopher wood would be "pitched wood". Recent suggestions have included a lamination process (to strengthen the Ark), or a now-lost type of tree, but there is no consensus.[5]

loveachild.com - Manna Packs…a Wonderful, Nutritional Meal - Love A Child

As we have explained to you yesterday, Haiti can only produce 5% of the rice needed to feed its population. This is why, for over 17 years, we have been partnering with Feed My Starving Children to help feed the Haitian children and save lives. You may be wondering what is inside the FMSC meals?

This is a special meal for malnourished children that contains protein, vitamins, and minerals that can be deficient in the diets of “third-world country” children. Each package contains rice and an assortment of nutritious vegetables. It also contains Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Vitamins A, C, E, as well as Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, and Vitamin B6. It also contains Folate, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorous, Iodine, Zinc, Magnesium, Copper, and Manganese. This has been designed by renowned nutritionists and scientists in the U.S. Chicken flavoring is added and this food cooks up to a hot meal in just 20 minutes. We have noticed that many children who have the “red hair” from malnutrition, that their hair begins to change to black after being on this special nutritional food. FMSC also offers Potato D for children with diarrhea, and Potato W, a weaning product for children 7-12 months old, which we also use. All Haitians love this food! We want to thank Feed My Starving Children and all of our partners who sponsor this food to come into Haiti, especially at a time like this. Without your help, this would not be possible to feed and help these starving children. Thank you, Bobby and Sherry
