2 The springs at the bottom of the oceans had been closed. The windows of the skies had been closed. And the rain had stopped falling from the sky.
3 The water continued to go down from the earth. At the end of the 150 days the water had gone down.
4 On the 17th day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5 The waters continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains could be seen.
6 After 40 days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark.
7 He sent a raven out. It kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
8 Then Noah sent a dove out. He wanted to see if the water had gone down from the surface of the ground.
