In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken
up,
and the windows of heaven were opened.
And the flood was forty days upon the earth;
and the waters increased, and bare
up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth;
and all the high hills,
that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and
of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every
man:
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 7:11,17,19,21,24
