Chapter 3 -- The Flood Recedes



Taken from Genesis 8:1-23

God remembered Noah and his family, and all the animals in the ark.  God sent a wind to blow across the water and the flood waters began to disappear.  The streams of underground waters stopped flowing and the heavy rain stopped.  So the flood waters slowly began to run off of the earth.  After 150 days from the time the flood began, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.  Two and one half months later as the water kept going down, other mountain tops began to appear.

After another 40 days, Noah opened the window in the ark and he released a Raven.  But, the raven didn't come back, it flew back and forth in the sky until the earth was dry.  Then, Noah sent out a Dove to see if it could find dry ground.  But, the Dove couldn’t found any place to land, because the water was still too high.  So, the Dove returned to the ark.   Noah held out his hand and he brought the Dove back inside the ark.  Seven days later, Noah sent out the Dove again.  This time toward evening the Dove returned to Noah with a fresh olive leaf in it mouth.  Noah now knew that the water was almost gone.  A week later Noah sent out the Dove again, and this time the Dove didn’t come back.

Two more months went by, and at last the earth was dry.  Then God said to Noah, "Leave the ark, all of you.  Turn loose all the animals and the birds."  So Noah and his family left the ark, and all the different kinds of animals and birds came out of the ark in pairs (male and female) side by side of the same kind.

Then Noah built an altar and worshipped the Lord.  This pleased the Lord and he said, "I will never again destroy all living things with a flood, even though people's thoughts and actions are turned toward evil from childhood.  As long as the earth remains, there will be spring and fall, winter and summer, cold and heat, day and night they will continue.
