and the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. at the end of forty days noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent forth a raven. it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. but the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. so he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. Ukuphola okwalabo kuphela asebekhule ngokwanele ukuba bangashada. Laba basuke ‘sebedlulile ekuqhumeni kobusha,’ noma lapho isifiso sobulili sisuke sinamandla kakhulu khona.—1 Korinte 7:36.
