In contrast to the Jewish tradition, which uses a term that can be translated as a "box" or " chest" to describe the Ark, surah 29:15 of the Quran refers to it as a safina, an ordinary ship; surah 7:64 uses fulk, [42] [43] and surah 54:13 describes the Ark as "a thing of boards and nails". Abd Allah ibn Abbas, a contemporary of Muhammad, wrote that Noah was in doubt as to what shape to make the Ark and that Allah revealed to him that it was to be shaped like a bird's belly and fashioned of teak wood. [44] In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, ( P) on the seventeenth day of the second month ( Q)—on that day all the springs of the great deep ( R) burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens ( S) were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

Multiple Jewish and Christian writers in the ancient world wrote about the ark. The first-century historian Josephus reports that the Armenians believed that the remains of the Ark lay "in Armenia, at the mountain of the Cordyaeans", in a location they called the Place of Descent ( Ancient Greek: αποβατηριον). He goes on to say that many other writers of "barbarian histories", including Nicolaus of Damascus, Berossus, and Mnaseas mention the flood and the Ark. [49] The only reference to an ‘ark’ as a boat is in early English translations of the Noah story, although subsequently, the word did enter extended use to refer to a ship or boat.Bennett, William Henry (1911). "Noah". In Chisholm, Hugh (ed.). Encyclopædia Britannica. Vol.19 (11thed.). Cambridge University Press. p.722.

The flood was increasing for forty days. The waters rose so high, that the tops of the highest mountains were overflowed more than twenty feet. There is no place on earth so high as to set men out of the reach of God's judgments. God's hand will find out all his enemies, ( Psalms 21:8). When the flood thus increased, Noah's ark was lifted up, and the waters which broke down everything else bore up the ark. That which to unbelievers betokens death unto death, to the faithful betokens life unto life. The Aftermath of the Flood Verses 21-24 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moves upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.'The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, ( A) because I have found you righteous ( B) in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean ( C) animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive ( D) throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain ( E) on the earth ( F) for forty days ( G) and forty nights, ( H) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.

The word ‘ark’, used of the boat Noah built, is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary with several meanings: to refer to a large wooden bin or hutch for storing food (Northern English dialect) or as the name for the wooden coffer containing the tables of the law, which God gave to Moses (i.e., the Ark of the Covenant).
