The flood subsides

God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him anymore.

The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.

He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
