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

For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth: and the ark moved upon the face of the waters.

and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.

For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.

Et praevaluerunt aquae, et multiplicatae sunt valde super terram, et fluitabat arca super faciem aquarum.

And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth,.... Still they became greater and more powerful, as to bear up the ark, so to cast down houses, trees, &c. by the continual rains that fell, though perhaps they were not so violent as before, and by the constant eruptions of water out of the earth:
and the ark went upon the face of the waters; it floated about upon them, in an easy gentle manner; for there were no storms of wind or tempests raised, which might endanger it. (If much of the water came from volcanic activity, and if earthquakes accompanied the breaking forth of the fountains of the deep, many tidal waves would result. This would completely destroy and remains of the old civilisation and as well give the ark a rough sea to drift in. The ark's dimensions would give make it almost impossible to upset. Ed.)
