were visible (Gen. 8:5).
4. The waters further receded to the point that (600th year, seventh month, seventeenth day) the ark rested on Ararat (Gen. 8:3, 4) 5. The waters continued to abate so that (600th year, tenth month, first day) the tops of the mountains were visible (Gen. 8:5). 6. Forty days later (600th year, eleventh month, tenth day) Noah sent out a raven and a dove (Gen. 8:6). Over the next 14 days, Noah sent out two more doves (Gen. 8:10, 12). In all, this took 61 days or two months and one day. 7. By Noah's 601st year on the first month, the first day, the water had dried up (Gen. 8:12, 13). 8. Noah waited one month and 26 days before he disembarked in the second month, the twenty-seventh day of his 601st year. From beginning to end, the flood lasted one year and 10 days from Gen. 7:11 to Gen. 8:14. © 1997 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.
