17 And the flood came forty days on the earth. And the waters increased, and lifted the ark, and it rose up from the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth. And the ark went upon the surfaceo of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed ⌊overwhelmingly⌋p upon the earth, and they covered all the high mountains which were under the entire heaven.q 20 ⌊The waters swelled fifteen cubits above the mountains, covering them⌋.r 21 And every living thing that moved on the earth perished—the birds, and the domesticated animals, and the wild animals, and everything that swarmed on the earth, and all humankind. 22 Everything in whose nostrils was ⌊the breath of life⌋,s among all that was on dry land, died. 23 And het blotted out every living thing upon the surface of the ground, from humankind, to animals, to creeping things, and to the birds of heaven;u they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained. 24 And the waters prevailed over the earth one hundred and fifty days.
