Bereshis 8:1-5 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. And Elohim remembered Noach, and every living thing, and all the behemah that was with him in the tevah (ark); and Elohim made a ruach to pass over ha'aretz, and the waters subsided;

2. The ma'ayanot (springs) also of the tehom and the floodgates of Shomayim were stopped, and the geshem from Shomayim was restrained;

3. And the waters receded from on ha'aretz continually; and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

4. And the tevah (ark) rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the rashei heharim seen.
