16 Il en entra, mâle et femelle, de toute chair, comme Dieu l’avait ordonné à Noé. Puis l’Éternel ferma la porte sur lui.

17 Le déluge fut quarante jours sur la terre. Les eaux crûrent et soulevèrent l’arche, et elle s’éleva au-dessus de la terre.

18 Les eaux grossirent et s’accrurent beaucoup sur la terre, et l’arche flotta sur la surface des eaux.

19 Les eaux grossirent de plus en plus, et toutes les hautes montagnes qui sont sous le ciel entier furent couvertes.

20 Les eaux s’élevèrent de quinze coudées au-dessus des montagnes, qui furent couvertes.
