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.
6. And it came to pass at the end of arba'im yom, that Noach opened the chalon (window) of the tevah (ark) which he had made;
7. And he sent forth the orev (raven), which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off ha'aretz.
8. Also he sent forth a yonah (dove) from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the adamah;
9. But the yonah found no manoach (place of rest) for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the tevah, for the waters were on the p'nei kol ha'aretz; then he reached forth his yad, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the tevah (ark).
