23. Formal Translation And every living thing that was on the face of the ground was wiped away—humankind, livestock, creeping things, and the birds of the heavens; they were erased from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. |
23. Dynamic Translation So every creature that lived on the earth’s surface perished—humans, animals, crawling things, and birds in the sky; they were all swept away. Only Noah remained, together with everyone who was with him in the boat. |
