'Waters' in the Bible

Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness [was] over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God [was] hovering over the surface of the waters.

And God said, "Let there be a vaulted dome in the midst of the waters, and {let it cause a separation between the waters}."

So God made the vaulted dome, and he caused a separation between the waters which [were] under the vaulted dome and between the waters which were over the vaulted dome. And it was so.

And God said, "Let the waters under heaven be gathered to one place, and let the dry ground appear." And it was so.

And God called the dry ground "earth," and he called the collection of the waters "seas." And God saw that [it was] good.

And God said, "Let the waters swarm [with] swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth across the face of the vaulted dome of heaven.

So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature [that] moves, [with] which the waters swarm, according to their kind, and every bird [with] wings according to its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.

And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth."

And I, behold, I [am] about to bring the flood waters over the earth to destroy all flesh in which [is] the breath of life from under the heaven; everything that [is] on the earth shall perish.

Noah {was six hundred years old} when the flood waters came upon the earth.

And Noah and his sons and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

And it happened [that] after seven days the waters of the flood came over the earth.

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.

And the waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth. And the ark went upon the surface of the waters.

And the waters prevailed {overwhelmingly} upon the earth, and they covered all the high mountains which were under the entire heaven.

{The waters swelled fifteen cubits above the mountains, covering them}.

And the waters prevailed over the earth one hundred and fifty days.

And God remembered Noah and all the wild animals, and all the domesticated animals that [were] with him in the ark. And God caused a wind to blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.

And the waters receded from the earth {gradually}, and the waters abated at the end of one hundred and fifty days.

And the waters {continued to recede} to the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

And he sent out a raven; {it went to and fro} until the waters were dried up from upon the earth.

And {he sent out a dove} to see [whether] the waters had subsided from upon the ground.

But the dove did not find a resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters [were still] on the face of the earth. And he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.

And the dove came to him {in the evening}, and behold, a freshly-picked olive tree leaf [was] in her mouth. And Noah knew that the waters had subsided from upon the earth.

And it happened that, in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first [day] of the month, the waters dried up from upon the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And behold, the face of the ground was dried up.

I am establishing my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, nor will there ever be a flood that destroys the earth."

Then I will remember my covenant that [is] between me and you, and between every living creature, with all flesh. And the waters of a flood will never again {cause the destruction} of all flesh.
