2You shall take
3also of the birds of the sky,
4For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.”
5So Noah acted in accordance with everything that the LORD had commanded him.

20The water prevailed
21So all
