Genesis 8:1-3

1But 1God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and 2God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

2Also 3the fountains of the deep and the 4floodgates of the sky were closed, and 5the rain from the sky was restrained;

3and the water receded steadily from the earth, and at the end 6of one hundred and fifty days the water decreased.
