17 And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth. And the waters were increased, and they lifted the ark high above the land.

18 For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.

20 The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
