What was the sealant on Noah's ark called in the Hebrew?

The sealant on Noah's ark was called pitch in English, but in the Hebrew it is called atonement. This atonement sealed out the flood waters, making the ark secure so Noah and his family were totally safe from the flood.

Les explains that the sealant on Noah's ark was called "pitch" in English, but in the Hebrew it is "atonement." This atonement sealed out the flood waters, and with the atonement in place, the ark was secure and Noah and his family were totally safe. Les compares this to Israel in Egypt, where the blood on the door protected them from the death angel, and to the Red Sea, where God told them to stand still and see His power. He then says Paul had to find himself in the same place, with only one place of safety: the blood of Christ.
