First off, no one knows what "gopher wood" was...


KJV Genesis 6:14
 14.  Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
 
ASV Genesis 6:14
 14.  Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
 
ROM Genesis 6:14
   `aseeh lkaa teebat `atseey-goper qiniym ta`aseh 'et-hateebaah wkaapartaa 'otaah mibayit uumixuuts bakoper.
 
(Maybe a phonetic spelling??)
 

[From Easton's Bible Dictionary]
Topics: Go'pher
 
Text:  a tree from the wood of which Noah was directed to build the ark (Gen. 6:14). It is mentioned only there. The LXX. render this word by "squared beams," and the Vulgate by "planed wood." Other versions have rendered it "pine" and "cedar;" but the weight of authority is in favour of understanding by it the cypress tree, which grows abundantly in Chaldea and Armenia.
 
 
NIV Genesis 6:14
 14.  So make yourself an ark of cypress  wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
 
 
LIT Genesis 6:14
  |6213| Make |0000| for yourself |8392| a ship of |6086| cypress |7613| timbers. |7064| compartments |6213| You must make |0854| in the |8392| ship. |3722| And you must cover |0853| it |1004| inside |2351| and out |3724| with tar.
