"This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high." Genesis 6:15
The Qbible has the dimensions given in cubits which are approximately 1 cubit to 18 inches. That is one big basket. At this point, Noah's got to be wondering why he God wants him to build a basket bigger than his house. But maybe not. God just told him he was going to destroy the world and then in the next breath to build a huge basket. I'm sure people used baskets back then to carry things, so maybe Noah is expecting God to be the one carrying this basket.
