         DefinitionShort: a large flood with destructive force (more intense and extensive than {L:πλήμμυρα} ‘flood,’ {D:14.33})

         Glosses: ['flood', 'deluge']

         Comments: In the NT κατακλύζω and κατακλυσμός occur only in 2 Peter and are used exclusively of the catastrophic flood in the time of Noah. Such a flood may be spoken of as ‘a flood that destroys’ or ‘much water which destroys.’
