2 | what happened to flood waters | Gen 7:24 | prayon | 46928 | ||
Greetings Kikikika, It did rain for 40 days and nights, however Noah and his family were on the ark for a total of 371 days. They entered on the 27th day of the 2nd month of Noah's 600th year (7:11). They disembarked on the 27th day of the 2nd month of Noah's 601st year (8:13-14). The rain cascaded on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights, then it rained lightly for another 110 days. We get this from verses 8:4 and 8:2 where it states that God stopped the rain on the 150th day after it started. For the next 74 days the water abated until the tops of the mountains could be seen. 40 days later Noah released a raven which went to and fro until the waters dried up on the earth. Then in another 21 days he sent out the 3rd dove that did not return. He waited another 29 days and removed the covering of the ark. In another 57 days he evacuated the ark. During this time the water slowly evaporated from the earth. (Everyman's bible commentary) prayon | ||||||
