Random question but does anyone know where or if the pharse "Noah go forth and build me an Ark made of Gopher wood" appears in the bible? I've googled the scripture from Genesis 6 and it seems totally different from what I remember from Religious Ed in Primary School.

You would need alot of horny gophers to make an ark from gopher wood lmao

There are a heap of different translations of the bible and some are worded quite differently. Some attempt to translate it 'word-for-word' where others attempt to convey the meaning of the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek texts. The end result can be very different.

I can't find a translation that exactly matches what you said for Genesis 6:14 but the king james version is close:

KJV - Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Contrast that to the New King James, New International Version and English Standard Versions:

NKJ - Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

NIV - So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

ESV - Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

Apparently the exact type of wood specified is not certain - no one knows the correct translation of the original Hebrew word.

Genesis 6:12-24 or Genesis:6:14-22 from memory...

"SAU, go forth and build thee an Ark made of coke cans" Was thinking about doing a vinyl sticker for it. Yellow engine light with the $ in the middle with the words "Project Ark".

Hopefully with any luck after the renovations are done she'll be show worthy.

Wedge. Leopard is not a skyline so this day holds no relevance :P

You might be missing the Leopard, she is very pretty. What happened to the Wedge?

This.

I know they're all translated differently. I've read like 6 different versions this morning and couldn't find exactly what I remembered, so I rang my catholic grandmother, who seemed quite thrilled that I was calling to discuss Religion. Should have just gone and watched that Steve Carell movie instead.

Google says that it's Gen 6:14 where that line occurs.

Just get a sticker saying "Gen 6:14"

Then I look like a Churchie, although I think most people know that Gen 6:14 is Noahs Ark.

Do you think we can build secret compartments inside my Ark? After all I have to keep all those dead hookers somewhere.

Going down to Bunnings soon to get a piece of MDF. Sick of the sink hole in my boot. I have to come into The Valley to pick up a bridal shower gift so I'll take Georgina's measurements while I'm there.

Define "Most people"?

I wouldn't park around the back if I was you. It's a bit of a shit fight in here today. Can you grab the MDF and stuff tomorrow. There are a few other bits and bobs that I need from Bunnings as well.
