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:
And all living creatures that moved on the earth died, the birds, the livestock, the wild animals, every crawling creature that crawls on the earth, and every human being.
This verse describes the devastating scope of the flood, every living thing on earth perished except those safely in Noah's ark.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical account of Noah's Flood, God had grown weary of the widespread wickedness and corruption among humanity, leading Him to decide on a global judgment through a great deluge. He chose Noah, a righteous man, to build an ark and preserve his family along with pairs of animals to restart life on earth after the flood. As described in Genesis 7:21, this verse highlights the devastating outcome of the floodwaters, where all living creatures outside the ark perished.
