1. God remembered Noah and every living thing and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. So God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the water receded.
2. Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of heaven were closed, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
3. The water receded steadily from the earth, and after the end of one hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4. The ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5. The water continually decreased until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
6. Then at the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,
7. and he sent forth a raven, which went to and fro until the waters were dried up on the earth.
8. Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground.
