Now in the six hundred and first year [of Noah’s life], on the first day of the first month, the waters were drying up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and the surface of the ground was drying.

Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place [of standing, pooling together], and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.

Everything on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath and spirit of life, died.

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