Genesis 7:17-24 ▼

17 And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, 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 on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.

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

20 the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;

21 and all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

22 all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.

23 And all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;

24 and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
