Genesis 7

¹⁸ So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

¹⁹ Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.

²⁰ The waters rose and covered the mountaintops to a depth of fifteen cubits.

²² Of all that was on dry land, everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.
