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.
