2. And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.
3. And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.
4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5. And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7. And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.
8. And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.
9. But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.
