In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.

For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth.

And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.

And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were shut, and the rain from heaven was stopped.
