5. And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6. And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:
7. Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
8. He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
9. But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.
10. And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
