GOD is translating to increase knowledge of some measurements & more
According to the biblical account in Genesis, Noah's flood waters rose to cover the highest mountains, prevailing about 15 cubits (roughly 22-23 feet or 7 meters) above their peaks, submerging the entire world's land and all life except those on the ark, an event interpreted as a global inundation requiring immense water. However, the physical feasibility of this event (especially the volume of water needed to cover Everest) leads some to interpret it as a massive local flood, like the Black Sea flood, rather than a global one.
Biblical Description
- Genesis 7:19-20 states the waters rose 15 cubits (about 22-23 feet) above the highest mountains, covering them completely.
- Described as covering "all the high hills under the whole heaven," implying a global flood.
Interpretations & Challenges
- Some scientific models suggest the story might be inspired by events like the inundation of the Black Sea basin around 9,400 years ago, which was a significant but not global flood.
- 1 cubit translates to 0.39370078740157477 ells
- 15 cubits translates to 5.905511811023622 ells
- There's no single "average" mountain height because definitions vary, but mountains generally rise at least 2,000 feet (600m) above their surroundings, with some sources suggesting 2,600 feet (800m) as a common minimum, while major ranges like the Andes average around 13,000 feet (4,000m) in elevation, and truly majestic peaks can be much higher, like Everest.
