In context

¹⁵They came to Noah to enter the ark, two by two of every creature with the breath of life.

¹⁶And they entered, the male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

¹⁷For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and the waters rose and lifted the ark high above the earth.

¹⁸So the waters continued to surge and rise greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.

¹⁹Finally, the waters completely prevailed upon the earth, so that all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
