Genesis 7:17-24
“For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased, they lifted the ark high above the earth. The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits. Every living thing that moved on the earth perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground, and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.” (Genesis 7:17-24)
The Great Flood is one of the most dramatic and symbolic moments in the Bible, representing both divine judgment and divine mercy. The flood waters cover the earth, wiping out every living thing, save for Noah and his family who are safely sheltered in the ark. This event, often referred to as the deluge, is seen as a cleansing of sin and a new beginning for humanity, marking a pivotal moment in the biblical narrative.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
Dalí emphasizes the cosmic and psychological dimensions of the event, using surrealist imagery to reflect the overwhelming nature of divine judgment and the fragility of humanity in the face of sin. By transforming the floodwaters into fluid, abstract forms and incorporating celestial elements, Dalí invites the viewer to contemplate not only the physical flood but the spiritual and metaphysical implications of sin, salvation, and divine wrath.
