17 The flood continued forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

18 The waters swelled and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters.

19 The waters swelled so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered;

20 the waters swelled above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.
