Genesis 8:1-5

1But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.

2The underground waters stopped flowing, and the torrential rains from the sky were stopped.

3So the floodwaters gradually receded from the earth. After 150 days,

4exactly five months from the time the flood began, the boat came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Two and a half months later, as the waters continued to go down, other mountain peaks became visible.
