Genesis 7:20 in Context — Genesis 7
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.
21 Tout ce qui se mouvait sur la terre périt, tant les oiseaux que le bétail et les animaux, tout ce qui rampait sur la terre, et tous les hommes.
22 Tout ce qui avait respiration, souffle de vie dans ses narines, et qui était sur la terre sèche, mourut.
