'Deluge' in the Bible

“Understand that I am bringing a flood—floodwaters on the earth to destroy every creature under heaven with the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will die.

Noah was 600 years old when the flood came and water covered the earth.

So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives entered the ark because of the waters of the flood.

Seven days later the waters of the flood came on the earth.

The flood continued for 40 days on the earth; the waters increased and lifted up the ark so that it rose above the earth.

I confirm My covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by the waters of a flood; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”

I will remember My covenant between Me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature.

These are the family records of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They also had sons after the flood.

These are the family records of Shem. Shem lived 100 years and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood.
