1. AND GOD [earnestly] remembered Noah and every living thing and all the animals that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind blow over the land, and the waters sank down and abated.
2. Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the gushing rain from the sky was checked,
3. And the waters receded from the land continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had diminished.
4. On the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat [in Armenia].
5. And the waters continued to diminish until the tenth month; on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the high hills were seen.
6. At the end of [another] forty days Noah opened a window of the ark which he had made
7. And sent forth a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters were dried up from the land.
8. Then he sent forth a dove to see if the waters had decreased from the surface of the ground.
