17And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

18And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

21And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

22All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

23And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

24And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Um caminho de palavras pelo capítulo

As palavras earth, Noah, waters, days, female, forty ajudam a revelar as preocupações repetidas do capítulo.

Primeiro o texto

Onde os leitores divergem

O resumo começa com o que a passagem diz e como suas partes se relacionam. Ele não presume que uma denominação já resolveu todas as questões. A dependência de uma tradição, teoria literária ou reconstrução histórica é claramente identificada.

O texto KJV aparece primeiro. As conclusões interpretativas são identificadas, e as diferenças surgem quando ajudam a explicar por que comunidades sérias nem sempre chegam à mesma resposta.

Perspectivas interpretativas

O dilúvio foi global ou regional?

A narrativa usa linguagem abrangente sobre a terra, os seres vivos e as águas sobre os montes. Uma leitura global entende esse alcance como mundial; uma leitura regional afirma que expressões universais podem descrever o mundo conhecido pela narrativa. Ambas precisam explicar os detalhes e as repetições de Gênesis 6 a 9.
