ArcImaging - The Search For Noah's Ark
Noah’s Ark/Flood – Genesis 6:5-8:22
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the
livestock that were with him in
the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. Now the springs of the deep and the
floodgates of the heavens had
been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of
the hundred and fifty days
the water had gone down, and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of
Ararat. The waters
continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became
visible.
After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in
the ark and sent out a
raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. Then he sent out a dove to see
if the water had receded from
the surface of the ground. But the dove could find no place to set its feet because there was water over all the
surface of the earth; so it
returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.
