14 They entered it with all the wildlife according to their kinds, all livestock according to their kinds, the creatures that crawl on the earth according to their kinds, all birds, every fowl, and everything with wings according to their kinds.
15 Two of all flesh that has the breath of life in it entered the ark with Noah.
16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered just as God had commanded him. Then the Lord shut him in.
17 The flood continued for 40 days on the earth; the waters increased and lifted up the ark so that it rose above the earth.
18 The waters surged and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.
19 Then the waters surged even higher on the earth, and all the high mountains under the whole sky were covered.
20 The mountains were covered as the waters surged above them more than 20 feet.
