Genesis 7:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded [Noah]; and the Lord shut him in and closed [the door] round about him.

¹⁷ The flood [that is, the downpour of rain] was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased and bore up the ark, and it was lifted [high] above the land.

¹⁸ And the waters became mighty and increased greatly upon the land, and the ark went [gently floating] upon the surface of the waters.
