3 The water began to recede from the land. At the end of 150 days the water had decreased.
4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship came to rest in the mountains of Ararat.
5 The water kept decreasing until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 After 40 more days Noah opened the window he had made in the ship
7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the water on the land had dried up.
8 Next, he sent out a dove to see if the water was gone from the surface of the ground.
