Genesis 7:17-24
17For fortyH705 daysH3117 the floodH3999 kept comingH1961 onH5921 the earthH776, and the watersH4325 roseH7235 and liftedH5375 the arkH8392 high aboveH5921 the earthH776. 18So the watersH4325 continued to surgeH1396 and riseH7235 greatlyH3966 onH5921 the earthH776, andH1980 the arkH8392 floated onH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the watersH4325. 19Finally, the watersH4325 completelyH3966 prevailedH1396 uponH5921 the earthH776, so that allH3605 the highH1364 mountainsH2022 underH8478 allH3605 the heavensH8064 were coveredH3680.
20The watersH4325 roseH1396 and coveredH3680 the mountaintopsH2022 to a depthH4605 of fifteenH2568H6240 cubitsH520.1 21And everyH3605 living thingH1320 that movedH7430 uponH5921 the earthH776 perishedH1478—birdsH5775, livestockH929, animalsH2416, everyH3605 creature that swarmsH8318H8317 uponH5921 the earthH776, and allH3605 mankindH120. 22Of allH3605 thatH834 was on dry landH2724, everythingH3605 that hadH834 the breathH5397 ofH7307 lifeH2416 in its nostrilsH639 diedH4191. 23And everyH3605 living thingH3351 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127 was destroyedH4229—manH120 andH5704 livestockH929H5704, crawling creaturesH7431 and birdsH5775 of the airH8064; they were blotted outH4229 fromH4480 the earthH776, and onlyH389 NoahH5146 and thoseH834 with himH854 in the arkH8392 remainedH7604.
24And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 uponH5921 the earthH776 for 150H3967H2572 daysH3117.
