In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.

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

But, the waters went on decreasing, until the tenth month, - in the tenth month , on the first of the month, were seen the tops of the mountains.

So it came to pass in the six hundred and first year at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried up from off the earth, - and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked and lo! the face of the ground was dried.

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

And Laban said to him, Surely, my bone and my flesh, art thou. So he abode with him a month of days.
