1. And God remembered Noah and all the wild animals, and all the domesticated animals that were with him in the ark. And God caused a wind to blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2. And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
3. And the waters receded from the earth gradually, and the waters abated at the end of one hundred and fifty days.
4. And the ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5. And the waters continued to recede to the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6. And it happened that at the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made.
7. And he sent out a raven; it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from upon the earth.
8. And he sent out a dove to see whether the waters had subsided from upon the ground.
9. But the dove did not find a resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the earth. And he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.
10. And he waited another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
