Genesis 7:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in on the outside.

¹⁷ And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from the earth.

¹⁸ For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.
