21. 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: 22. All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] in the dry [land], died. 23. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.

Theological / Devotional

All flesh died. The word “all” is thrice used, and accompanied by a detailed list of the different forms of life, “fowl,” “cattle,” “beasts,” “creeping things,” and “man.” Now, to make it still more emphatic, “every” is used twice.
