"And the watersª returnedª° from off¹¹ the earthª continually:ªª° and after the endª¹ of the hundredª and fiftyª daysª the watersª were abated.ª° ... And the arkª restedª° in the seventhª month,ª on the seventeenthªª dayª of the month,ª upon¹ the mountainsª of Ararat.ª" {Gen 8:3-4}, compare with "In² the sixª hundredthª yearª of Noah'sª life,ª in the secondª month,ª the seventeenthªª dayª of the month,ª the same²¹ dayª were all¹ the fountainsª of the greatª deepª broken up,ª° and the windowsª of heavenª were opened.ª°" {Gen 7:11} of this chapter, The breaking up of the fountains of the great deep, and the raining forty days and nights, had raised the waters fifteen cubits, or twenty-two feet and a half, above the highest mountain; after which forty days, it appears to have continued at this height one hundred and fifty days more.
