Ask a QuestionAt the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made
Then God said to Noah,
and the waters gradually receded from the earth. At the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had abated;
He waited another seven days, and again he sent out the dove from the ark;
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
and sent out the raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.
So Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives.
the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,
Then he waited another seven days, and sent out the dove; and it did not return to him any more.
"Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.
and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
The waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
Then he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground;

And every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out of the ark by families.

but the dove found no place to set its foot, and it returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took it and brought it into the ark with him.
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and all the domestic animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided;
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh--birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth--so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."
