Gopher wood
Biblical hapax and variety of wood
Gopher wood
Gopher wood or gopherwood is a term used once in the Bible, to describe the material used to construct Noah's Ark. Genesis 6:14 states that Noah was instructed to build the Ark of gofer (גֹפֶר), commonly transliterated as gopher wood, a word not otherwise used in the Bible or the Hebrew language in general (a hapax legomenon). Although some English Bibles attempt a translation, older English translations such as 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.
