Noah’s Flood

“In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” (Gen. 7:11) “And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.” (Gen. 7:12) “And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.” (Gen. 7:17-19) “The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;” (Gen. 8:2)
