2. The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3. And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.
4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
5. And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6. And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:
7. Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
8. He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
9. But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.
