1
Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2
The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3
And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4
Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5
And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6
So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7
Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8
He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
