Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Genesis 7
²¹ All the living things on earth died—birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people.
²² Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died.
²³ God wiped out every living thing on the earth—people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat.
²⁴ And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days.
Genesis 8
¹ But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.
² The underground waters stopped flowing, and the torrential rains from the sky were stopped.
³ So the floodwaters gradually receded from the earth. After 150 days,
⁴ exactly five months from the time the flood began, the boat came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
⁵ Two and a half months later, as the waters continued to go down, other mountain peaks became visible.
⁶ After another forty days, Noah opened the window he had made in the boat
⁷ and released a raven. The bird flew back and forth until the floodwaters on the earth had dried up.
