NHEB(i)
17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the vessel, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the vessel floated on the surface of the waters.
19 And the waters rose very high on the earth. And all the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20 The waters rose and covered the highest mountains to a depth of more than twenty-six feet.
21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth, flying creatures, and tame animals, and wild animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, and all humankind.
22 All in whose nostrils breathed the breath of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the vessel.
