'Waters' in the Bible

Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

God said, "Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;" and it was so.

God called the dry land "earth," and the gathering together of the waters he called "seas." God saw that it was good.

God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky."

God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.

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

I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.

The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.

God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.

The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
