New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 7
¹⁸ The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.
¹⁹ The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.
²⁰ The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
²¹ All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;
²² of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
²³ Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
²⁴ The water prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 8
¹ But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.
² Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained;
³ and the water receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of one hundred and fifty days the water decreased.
⁴ In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
