Genesis 7:20 in Context — Genesis 7

18 Y prevalecieron las aguas, y crecieron en gran manera sobre la tierra; y andaba el arca sobre la faz de las aguas.

19 Y las aguas prevalecieron mucho en extremo sobre la tierra; y todos los montes altos que había debajo de todos los cielos, fueron cubiertos.

20 Quince codos en alto prevalecieron las aguas; y fueron cubiertos los montes.

21 Y murió toda carne que se mueve sobre la tierra, así de aves como de ganados, y de bestias, y de todo reptil que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra, y todo hombre:

22 Todo lo que tenía aliento de espíritu de vida en sus narices, de todo lo que había en la tierra, murió.
