13 Ja kuuesaja esimesel Noa eluaastal, esimese kuu esimesel päeval, oli vesi maa pealt kuivanud. Ja Noa võttis ära laeva katuse ja vaatas, ja ennäe, maapind oli tahenenud.

740. Verse 7 And Noah went into the ark, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, from before the waters of the flood.

'Noah went into the ark from before the waters of the flood' means that in temptation he was protected. 'Sons' mean truths, as previously, 'wife' goods, and 'sons' wives' truths joined to goods.
