Genesis 8:6 In-Context

4 requievitque arca mense septimo vicesima septima die mensis super montes Armeniae

5 at vero aquae ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem decimo enim mense prima die mensis apparuerunt cacumina montium

6 cumque transissent quadraginta dies aperiens Noe fenestram arcae quam fecerat dimisit corvum

7 qui egrediebatur et revertebatur donec siccarentur aquae super terram

8 emisit quoque columbam post eum ut videret si iam cessassent aquae super faciem terrae
