"And the 40 days was end and Noa opened the window of the Ark that he made. " [Genesis 8:6]After continued period, Noa opened the window of the Ark and he saw that the flood stopped.
The angry rain did not go down still on the earth, the strong thunder stopped, the sky was bright, the sun was shine.
Noa watched through the window of the Ark, and he saw water only water around it. He was no ground, no trees, and not even the head of mountains.
Only water covers the all.
When there will be able to go out from the ark?Noa turned to the crow. He said to him: "You go out first from the ark, fly the way of the window, and test if the water on the face of the earth grow less."
Maybe there is dry places?
The crow began to caw and argue with Noa: "Always I ? Enough! Why just I ? Enough!
Maybe you send someone else instead of me.
There is no force for me, I am week a little. I did not fly all the time thus, to fly is hard for me, today, enough!
I fear to go out first from the ark, I hate water,enough!"
Noa was angry so that the crow tryed to evade. And Noa ordered to him to go out from the ark and to test the state of the water.
The crow went out, and soon returned.Noa turned to the pegion and begged him: "Go out you. And test if already it is able to go out from the ark.
Pick what is the state of the water, and see -- maybe there are already dry places?"
The pegion went out, and flew around a little around to ark, and soon returned, as he did not find places that it was able to stand in it.
Noa understand that there is yet much water on the earth, and it is not yet able to gou out.Noa waited more 7 days, and then he sent the pegion again.
The pegion went out, flew around, went far a little from the ark and found olive tree.
The pegion took the leaf of the olive tree and brought to Noa to the ark.
Noa knew that the heads of the trees are already nothing covered water and that all will be able to go out in the near future.
