'Flood' in the Bible
"For my part, I'm about to flood the earth with water and destroy every living thing that breathes. Everything on earth will die.
Noah was 600 years old when water began to flood the earth.
Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives entered the ark with him before the flood waters arrived.
The flood continued throughout the earth for 40 days, while the flood waters increased, lifting the ark so that it rose above the surface of the earth.
The flood waters continued to surge, increasing throughout the earth, while the ark floated on the surface of the flood water.
The flood water surged even higher throughout the earth, until all the highest mountains under the sky were covered.
God kept Noah in mind, along with all the wildlife and livestock that were with him in the ark. God's Spirit moved throughout the earth, causing the flood waters to subside.
Then the flood waters steadily receded, diminishing completely by the end of the 150 days.
The flood water continued to recede until the tenth month, when, on the first of that month, the tops of the mountains could be seen.
and sent out a raven. It went back and forth as the flood water continued to evaporate throughout the earth.
The dove returned to him in the evening, but in its beak there was an olive leaf that it had plucked! So Noah knew that the flood waters had decreased on the land.
In the six hundred and first year of Noah's life, during the first month, the flood water began to evaporate from the land. Noah then removed the ark's cover and saw that the surface of the land was drying.
I will establish my covenant with you: No living beings will ever be cut off again by flood waters, and there will never again be a flood that destroys the earth."
I'll remember my covenant between me and you and every living creature, so that water will never again become a flood to destroy all living beings.
These are the records of Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to whom descendants were born after the flood.
These are the families of Noah's sons, according to their records, by their nations. From these people, the nations on the earth spread out after the flood.
These are the family records of Shem. When Shem had lived 100 years, he fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood.
