Genesis 8:1–3

THE FLOOD RECEDES

8 God remembered Noah,c as well as all the wildlife and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. God caused a wind to pass over the earth,d and the water began to subside. 2 The sources of the watery depths and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky stopped.e 3 The water steadily receded from the earth, and by the end of 150 days the water had decreased significantly.f
