AND THEY WERE BLOTTED OUT. Their names were erased from the earth because they left no descendants. [AND NOAH ONLY WAS LEFT.] Only Noah and those with him were left. This verse proves how wrong are some of our ignorant brethren who maintain that the flood did not cover the entire earth.

Bereshit Rabbah 32:10ืืจืืฉืืช ืจืื ืืดื:ืืณ
โAnd the water accumulated exceedingly upon the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were coveredโ (Genesis 7:19).
โAnd the water accumulated exceedingly upon the earthโ โ Rabbi Yonatan was once going up to pray in Jerusalem. He was passing near Palatinos when he saw a certain Samaritan. He [the Samaritan] said to him: โWhere are you going?โ He said to him: โI am going up to Jerusalem to pray.โ He said to him: โBut is it not preferable for you to pray on this blessed mountain, and not on that mountain of ruins?โ He said to him: โIn what way is it [Gerizim] blessed?โ [Replied the Samaritan:] โIn that it was not inundated in the Flood.โ It [a response] escaped Rabbi Yonatan, and he did not answer him at that moment. His donkey driver said to him: โRabbi, allow me and I will answer him.โ He said to him: โAll right.โ He said to him [the Samaritan]: โIf it [Gerizim] is one of the highest mountains, is it not written: โAll the high mountainsโฆwere coveredโ? And if it is one of the lower ones, the verse does not pay any attention to it and gave it no consideration at all.โ Immediately, Rabbi Yonatan dismounted the donkey and led him on it for three miles [to honor him]. He applied three verses to him: โThere will not be an infertile male or a barren female among you, or among your animals [behema]โ (Deuteronomy 7:14) โ even among the animal drivers [bahamot] among you. โYour temple [rakatekh] is like a pomegranate slice behind your braidโ (Song of Songs 4:3) โ even the empty ones [reikanin] among you are as full of responses as a pomegranate [is full of seeds]. That is what is written: โAny weapon crafted against you will not succeed, and any tongue that will rise against you in judgment will be condemned. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lordโฆโ (Isaiah 54:17).
