COMMENTARY ON GENESIS
4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
4. Et requievit arca mense septimo, septimadecima die mensis super montes Ararath.
5. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
5. Et aquae ibant et deficiebant usque ad mensem decimum: in decimo, in prima mensis visa sunt cacumina montium.
6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
6. Et fuit, in fine quadraginta dierum, aperuit Noah fenestram arcae quam fecerat.
7. And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
7. Et misit corvum, et egressus est egrediendo et redeundo, donex siccarentur aquae quae erant super terram.
8. Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
8. Deinde misit columbam a se, ut videret an extenuatae essent aquae a superficie terrae.
9. But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
9. Et non invenit columba requiem plantae pedis sui, et reversa est ad eum in arcam: quia aquae erant in superficie omnis terrae: et misit manum suam, et accepit eam, introduxitque eam ad se in arcam.
10. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
10. Et expectavit adhuc septem dies alios, et addidit ut mitteret columbam ex arca.
