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.
8He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the surface of the ground,
9but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
