Genesis 8:1-5

1But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.

2Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.

3The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down,

4and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
