AC 645
In the original text it is not indeed said that it was to be "pitched with pitch,"
but a word is used which denotes "protection,"
derived from "expiate" or "propitiate," and therefore it involves the same.
The expiation or propitiation of the Lord is protection from inundation of evil.
From Merriam-Webster:
expiate - to make amends or give satisfaction for wrong done;
make up for, put right
propitiate - to gain or regain the favor for:
to appease, pacify; intercede mediate
inundate - to cover with, or as if with a flood
(How appropriate as this story is about Noah and the ark!)
