When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons— Shem, Ham, and Japheth— and their wives.With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal— domestic and wild, large and small— along with birds of every kind.Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.For forty days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth.As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth,rising more than twenty two feet above the highest peaks.

But just before dawn the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw their forces into total confusion.He twisted their chariot wheels, making their chariots difficult to drive.“ Let’s get out of here— away from these Israelites!” the Egyptians shouted.“ The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt!”When all the Israelites had reached the other side, the Lord said to Moses,“ Raise your hand over the sea again. Then the waters will rush back and cover the Egyptians and their chariots and charioteers.”So as the sun began to rise, Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the water rushed back into its usual place. The Egyptians tried to escape, but the Lord swept them into the sea.Then the waters returned and covered all the chariots and charioteers— the entire army of Pharaoh. Of all the Egyptians who had chased the Israelites into the sea, not a single one survived.
