All flesh is destroyed. 17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man : 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him in to the ark. 19 Every beast, every creepwhatsoever creepeth upon the ing thing, and every fowl, and earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. altar unto the LORD; and took 20 And Noah builded an of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not afor man's sake; for the imagigain curse the ground any more nation of man's heart is evil 21 And the LORD smelled a 10 And he stayed yet other forth the dove out of the ark; from his youth; neither will I seven days; and again he sent And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plackt off: so Noah knew that again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. seedtime and harvest, and cold 22 While the carth remaineth, the waters were abated from off and heat, and summer and win the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the ter, and day and night shall not cease.
