Chronology of the Flood During the Days of Noah 
3
1. According to Genesis 77-9, Noah entered the
ark on tenth day of the second month (Iyyar) and
waited in the ark seven days (Gen. 710).
4
 2. According to Genesis 710-11, seven days
after Noah entered the Ark, the vast transparent
water vapor canopy precipitated and the
subterranean waters burst open on the seventeenth
day of the second month.
5
 3. According to Genesis 712, the vast
transparent water vapor canopy precipitated or
fell upon the earth for forty days and nights and
stopped on the twenty-seventh day of the third
month.
6
 4. According to Genesis 724 and 83-4, one
hundred ten days after the heavy rains of the
forty day and nights had stopped, the waters of
the Flood receded and the Ark rested on the
mountains of Ararat.
7
5. According to a comparison of 84 with 85,
seventy-four days or two and a half months after
the Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, the
tops of the mountains appeared on the first day
of the tenth month.
8
6. According to a comparison of Genesis 85 and
6, forty days after the tops of the mountains
appeared, Noah opened the window of the Ark,
which would be on the eleventh day of the
eleventh month and sent out a raven and a dove.
9
7. According to Genesis 810, on the eighteenth
day of the eleventh month, Noah sent out the dove
a second time seven days after he sent the dove
out the first time and this time the dove
returned with a freshly picked olive leaf.
10
8. According to Genesis 812, on the twenty-fifth
day of the eleventh month, seven days after
sending the dove out a second time, Noah sent out
the dove again a third time, which this time
didnt return.
11
9. According to Genesis 83, the waters receded
steadily for 150 days whereas 128 days elapsed
between Genesis 83-12 thus indicating that Noah
waited still another 22 days after sending out
the dove out a third time before he removed the
covering of the Ark.
12
10. According to Genesis 813, the land was dry
and Noah removed the covering of the Ark on the
first day of the first month.
13
11. According to Genesis 814-19, the land was
completely dry and Noah left the Ark on the 27th
day of the 2nd month.
14
Thus, Noah was in the Ark a year and 17 days.
15
A Jewish year is 360 days and a month is 30 days.
16
Thus, if a year is 360 days and Noah entered the
Ark on the 10th day of the 2nd month and exited a
year later on the 27th day of the 2nd month, then
he was in the Ark a total of 377 days.
