גֹּפֶר Genesis 6:14 prop. pitch, i.q. כֹּפֶר as I suppose; and I interpret עֲצֵי גֹפֶר pitch trees, resinous trees, such as the pine, fir, cypress, cedar, and other trees of the kind used in ship-building; see גָּפְרִית. Of the moderns, Bochart (Phaleg. i. 4) and Celsius (Hierob. 328) are not amiss in understanding specially κυπάρισσος, the cypress; not without reason appealing also to the similarity of letters.
