Thematic Bible



In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;

And the waters went slowly back from the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were lower.

And the waters were over the earth a hundred and fifty days.

And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters were dry on the earth: and Noah took the cover off the ark and saw that the face of the earth was dry.
