Question on 'im' ending in Gen 6:16

[zoe_lithoi@yahoo.com]

That's an odd connection to make. I think I can honestly say I've never heard anyone try to draw a comparison between the two.

I know right?

What's unique is the comparison of the dimensions.

What's not as unique is the comparison of the ark to the temple, for example:

On the Ark of Noah and the Ark of the Covenant
The Ark of Noah expresses the “three worlds” by the three “decks” ofthe Ark (Gen.6:16) and the division of “all living things” into “birds,” “animals” and“every kind of creature that creeps along the ground” (Gen.6:20). With the Ark of theCovenant, the “three worlds” are expressed horizontally by the three main divisions ofthe Temple (the Portico, the Great Chamber and the Sanctuary), and vertically by thethree “storeys” of the Temple (1Kgs.6:8)   .... By extension to the Temple the “three worlds” are the Portico (ulam); the Great Chamber (hekal ); and the Sanctuary (debir  ) (see 1Kgs.6; cf.Ezk.40 & 41). With the Ark of Noah the “three worlds” are static or simultaneous within the Ark. "
