Interesting details about Noah and the flood - namely 17

 

(How did I miss this?)

 

>Consequently, the LORD saw that man’s wickedness was great on the earth and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made men on the earth, and his heart was saddened.

 

>This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.

 

That is, about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high or about 135 meters long, 23 meters wide and 14 meters high

 

>In the 600th year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the 17th day of the month, on that day all the springs of the vast watery deep burst open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And the rain poured down on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.

 

>The waters overwhelmed the earth so greatly that all the tall mountains under the whole heavens were covered. The waters rose up to 15 cubits above the mountains.

 

That is, about 23 feet or about 6.8 meters

 

>And the waters continued overwhelming the earth for 150 days.

 

(And another 150 to dry up)

 

>In the seventh month, on the 17th day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Arʹa·rat.

 

>The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
