1. But God did not forget about Noah. God remembered him and all the animals that were with him in the boat. God made a wind blow over the earth, and all the water began to disappear.
2. Rain stopped falling from the sky, and water stopped flowing from under the earth.
3-4. The water that covered the earth began to go down. After 150 days the water was low enough that the boat touched land again. The boat stopped on one of the mountains of Ararat. This was the 17th day of the seventh month.
5. The water continued to go down, and by the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains were above the water.
6. Forty days later Noah opened the window he had made in the boat.
7. Then he sent out a raven. The raven flew from place to place until the ground was dry and the water was gone.
