Genesis 8:4 in context

The verses around it, from Genesis 8.

1 But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

2 The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3 The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5 And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8 Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.
