Tevah (Ark)

The term 'Tevah' refers to the Ark, particularly in the context of Noah's Ark in Genesis, which was a vessel built by Noah to save his family and pairs of every kind of animal from the Flood. The concept of the Ark also appears in the context of the Ark of the Covenant, which held the tablets of the Law.

The Ark of Noah was built in a time of great wickedness on the earth, as described in Genesis 6:5-6, where God decided to cleanse the earth through the Flood. The Ark of the Covenant was constructed during the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, serving as a physical representation of God's covenant with His people.
