4. On the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat [in Armenia].
5. And the waters continued to diminish until the tenth month; on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the high hills were seen.
6. At the end of [another] forty days Noah opened a window of the ark which he had made
7. And sent forth a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters were dried up from the land.
8. Then he sent forth a dove to see if the waters had decreased from the surface of the ground.
9. But the dove found no resting-place on which to roost, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were [yet] on the face of the whole land. So he put forth his hand and drew her to him into the ark.
