In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened up.

And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. And the tops of the mountains were seen in the tenth month on the first day of the month.

And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked. And, behold, the face of the earth was dried!

And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him for a month.
