The Flood Prevails

17And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.

18The waters prevailed and increased greatly over the earth, and the ark moved along on the surface of the waters.

19And the waters prevailed exceedingly over the earth, and all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

20The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

21And all flesh that moved on the earth died: birds, livestock, wild animals, every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, and all mankind.

22Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life died.

23He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, from man to livestock to creeping things and to the birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth, and only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.

24And the waters prevailed over the earth for 150 days.
