God called the expanse [of sky] heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month, on that same day all the fountains of the great deep [subterranean waters] burst open, and the windows and floodgates of the heavens were opened.

On the twenty-seventh day of the second month the land was [entirely] dry.
