The Fountains of the Deep: Genesis 7:11-24

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

The world cracked open.

From below, the deep that had been restrained since creation—the tehom, the primordial waters—erupted through the earth's crust. Geysers of destruction, aquifers exploding, the planet hemorrhaging water from wounds that gaped across continents.

From above, the windows of heaven—the raqia, the vault that held waters above—opened and poured. Not rain as they knew rain but a deluge, a waterfall from the sky, the separation of day two reversed.
