4. Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6. So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7. Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8. He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
