1
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;
2
the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,
3
and the waters gradually receded from the earth. At the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had abated;
4
and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5
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.
