Noah's Ark Essay

Did you know about the story of Noah's ark? Well, it so happens thathe is my uncle. When I was six years old, he told me the story about the great flood in his days. He also told me how he built the ark with God's instruction and how he could stay in the ark for one year and seventeen days.
Noah brought clean animals by seven and unclean animals by two. There were eight people in the ark. The ark was made of gopher wood, 300 cubits long, 50 cubits broad, and 30 cubits high with a window and a door.
They were inside the ark for seven days before the rain began. Then for forty days, it rained days and nights. The ark rested on Mt. Ararat for one hundred and ten days. The mountaintops were visible for seventy-three days. Noah sent out a raven forty days later and it did not return. Then seven days later, Noah sent out a dove and it returned, seven days more, he sent out another dove and it returned with an olive leaf in its beak. Noah sent out another dove seven days later and it did not return. The covering of the ark was removed twenty-nine days later. Then Noah was out of the ark fifty- seven days later.
Noah stayed in the ark of the total of one year and seventeen days. It took them one hundred and twenty yearsto build the ark.
