Genesis 7:21
Compare all
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heaven were covered.
20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.
21 aAnd all flesh died that moved on1 the earth: birds and cattle and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.  
22 All in awhose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.  
23 So He destroyed all living things which were on the face of the ground: both man and cattle, creeping thing and bird of the air. They were destroyed from the earth. Only aNoah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive.  
24 aAnd the waters prevailed on the earth one hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 7:21

all flesh died . . . fowl . . . cattle, and . . . creeping thing—It has been a uniform principle in the divine procedure, when judgments were abroad on the earth, to include every thing connected with the sinful objects of His wrath (Genesis 19:25; Exodus 9:6). Besides, now that the human race was reduced to one single family, it was necessary that the beasts should be proportionally diminished, otherwise by their numbers they would have acquired the ascendancy and overmastered the few that were to repeople the world. Thus goodness was mingled with severity; the Lord exercises judgment in wisdom and in wrath remembers mercy.
