1. But God remembered Noah and all the wild and tame animals with him in the boat. He made a wind blow over the earth, and the water went down.
2. The underground springs stopped flowing, and the clouds in the sky stopped pouring down rain.
3-4. The water that covered the earth began to go down. After one hundred fifty days it had gone down so much that the boat touched land again. It came to rest on one of the mountains of Ararat on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
5. The water continued to go down so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains could be seen.
6. Forty days later Noah opened the window he had made in the boat, and
7. he sent out a raven. It flew here and there until the water had dried up from the earth.
