Genesis 8:1-7

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then God turned his attention to Noah and all the wild animals and farm animals with him on the ship. God caused the wind to blow and the floodwaters began to go down.

2 The underground springs were shut off, the windows of Heaven closed and the rain quit.

3 Inch by inch the water lowered. After 150 days the worst was over.

4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship landed on the Ararat mountain range.

5 The water kept going down until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains came into view.

6 After forty days Noah opened the window that he had built into the ship.

7 He sent out a raven; it flew back and forth waiting for the floodwaters to dry up.

New International Version NIV

1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.

2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.

3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down,

4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark

7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
