Genesis 7:17–24

¹⁷And 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; ¹⁸and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters. ¹⁹And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which are under the whole heavens; ²⁰fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered.

²¹And expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind; ²²all in whose nostrils is breath of a living spirit—of all that is in the dry land—have died. ²³And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who are with him in the ark; ²⁴and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
