“Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.”
One cubit is about 18 inches.
One cubit is about 18 inches. Hmmm...

15 X 18 = 270
270/12 = 22.5

The water rose 22.5 feet and deposited the ark on Mount Ararat?
Okay.

If you will read the verses before your partial rendering, you will find that it was fifteen cubits above the “highest hills”

(Genesis 7:18-20.)

18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
