17The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.
19The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
21All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, cattle, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
23Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, cattle, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.
