For forty days the rain poured down without stopping. And the water became deeper and deeper, until the boat started floating high above the ground.
Seven days from now I will send rain that will last for forty days and nights, and I will destroy all other living creatures I have made.
(SEE 7:11)
just as God had told him to do. And when they were all in the boat, God closed the door.
(SEE 7:17)
He built his palace in the heavens and let its foundations rest on the earth. He scoops up the ocean and empties it on the earth. His name is the LORD.
