神记念挪亚和挪亚方舟里的一切走兽牲畜。神叫风吹地，水势渐落。

但遍地上都是水，鸽子找不着落脚之地，就回到方舟挪亚那里，挪亚伸手把鸽子接进方舟来。
11
到了晚上，鸽子回到他那里，嘴里叼着一个新拧下来的橄榄叶子，挪亚就知道地上的水退了。

887. The waters abated from over the earth' means that all this was so because the obstructive falsities were now fewer. This is clear from the meaning of the same words that have appeared already in verse 8. As regards the obstructive falsities being fewer than previously in this second state which is the subject here, all the falsities a person has acquired so remain with him that not one is done away with, as stated already. But when a person is being regenerated truths are planted in him towards which falsities are turned by the Lord. It thus appears as though they have been dispersed, dispersed by means of the goods which he is given.
