And still the waters went on falling, till on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.
Genesis 8:5
Arcana Coelestia #843
843. Verse 2. The fountains also of the deep and the cataracts of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained. These words signify that temptation ceased; “the fountains also of the deep” signify evils of the will; “the cataracts of heaven” falsities of the understanding; and “rain” signifies temptation itself in general.
