## Genesis 7:23 in Context (Verses 20–24 KJV)
 
 [20 ](/kjv/genesis/7/20) Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/genesis/7/21) And 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:
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/7/22) All in whose nostrils *was* the breath of life, of all that *was* in the dry *land*, died.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/7/23) And 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.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/genesis/7/24) And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
 
[Genesis 6](/kjv/genesis/6) [Genesis 8](/kjv/genesis/8)
