1God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
2The deep`s fountains and the sky`s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3The waters receded from off the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.
4The ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat`s mountains.
5The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,
7and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
