2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from the heavens was withheld.
3 And the waters receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters diminished.
4 And in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased steadily until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
6 And it came to be, at the end of forty days, that Noaḥ opened the window of the ark which he had made,
7 and he sent out a raven, which kept going out and turning back until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
