  • Fifteen cubits of water covered over even the highest mountains.
  • All the living creatures on earth perished, besides for Noach and his family and the animals that remained with him.
  • The water recedes: The water remained on earth without receding for 150 days. It began to recede after 150 days. On the 17th of the 7th month [Sivan] the Teiva landed on the mountain of Ararat. The peak of the mountains began to appear on the 1st of the 10th month [Av].
  • Noach sends out a bird: 40 days later Noach opened the window of the ark and sent out the raven. The raven did not find land to rest on. He then sent out a dove, who returned to the ark after not finding dry land. Seven days later the dove was re-sent, and the dove returned with an olive branch. He resent the dove seven days later and it did not return.
  • The Teiva is opened: On the first of the first month [Rosh Hashanah] the earth became free of water and Noach opened the cover of the Teiva.
  • The earth finally became dry on the 27th of the 2nd month [27th of Marcheshvan]
