Genesis 6:16 meaning and explanation

Genesis 6:16, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
God is speaking to Noah, giving the specifications for the ark that will carry his family and the animals through the flood. The Hebrew word for the opening here, tsohar, is usually rendered "window" or "light," so the verse may describe a roof with a light opening rather than a solid covering.
