Genesis 8:1-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. God remembered Noah and all the wild and domestic animals with him in the ship. So God made a wind blow over the earth, and the water started to go down.

2. The deep springs and the sky had been shut, and the rain had stopped pouring.

3. The water began to recede from the land. At the end of 150 days the water had decreased.

4. On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship came to rest in the mountains of Ararat.

5. The water kept decreasing until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

6. After 40 more days Noah opened the window he had made in the ship

7. and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the water on the land had dried up.
