The length of Noah's Ark, as described in the Bible, was 300 cubits, or approximately 450 feet (137 m). That would make it about the size of a modern ocean liner, or roughly the size of a football field. Since the Bible does not specify the exact dimensions of the Ark, some scholars have estimated that it could have been larger. However, its size as described in the Bible is the most commonly accepted by scholars.
The length of the Ark, as described in the Bible, is 300 cubits. This is an approximate measurement, as there is no standard cubit in the Bible. However, the cubit is estimated to be between 17.5 and 22.5 inches. This would make the length of the Ark somewhere between 450 and 675 feet.
