Genesis 7:19

Good News Translation (US Version)

It became so deep that it covered the highest mountains;

See the chapter Copy

and it was also by water, the water of the flood, that the old world was destroyed.

We were not helped at all by our pagan worship on the hilltops. Help for Israel comes only from the Lord our God.

Drought comes when God withholds rain; floods come when he turns water loose.

The water became deeper, and the boat drifted on the surface.

it went on rising until it was about twenty-five feet above the tops of the mountains.
