16 And those that came, male and female, of every living thing, came as God had commanded him. And Yahweh shut the door behind him.
17 And the flood came forty days and forty nights upon 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 surface of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed overwhelmingly upon the earth, and they covered all the high mountains which were under the entire heaven.
20 The waters swelled fifteen cubits above the mountains, covering them.
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, among all that was on dry land, died.
