1And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.
2And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were shut, and the rain from heaven was stopped.
3And the waters went slowly back from the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were lower.
4And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5And still the waters went on falling, till on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.
6Then, after forty days, through the open window of the ark which he had made,
7Noah sent out a raven, which went this way and that till the waters were gone from the earth.
