Word of the Day - 12/11/2008

Alluvion

An alluvion is an overflow; flood.

Noah and his family were the lone survivors of the biggest alluvion the world has ever seen.

So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. (Genesis 8:18, NASB)

Note: This oil on canvas of the Flood was painted by modern British artist Norman Adams (1927-12005) in 1961.
