When Noah, age 600, completes the Ark, he and his family and the animals enter, and "the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened, and the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights." The flood covers even the highest mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet, and all creatures on Earth die; only Noah and those with him on the Ark are left alive.
