Genesis 7:17-20 ▼

17 And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;

18 and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

19 And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which are under the whole heavens;

20 fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;
