  1. Chronology of the Flood During the Days of Noah

  2. 1. According to Genesis 7:7-9, Noah entered the ark on tenth day of the second month (Iyyar) and waited in the ark seven days (Gen. 7:10).

  3. 2. According to Genesis 7:10-11, 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.

  4. 3. According to Genesis 7:12, 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.

  5. 4. According to Genesis 7:24 and 8:3-4, 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.

  6. 5. According to a comparison of 8:4 with 8:5, 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.

  7. 6. According to a comparison of Genesis 8:5 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.

  8. 7. According to Genesis 8:10, 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.

  9. 8. According to Genesis 8:12, 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 didn’t return.

  10. 9. According to Genesis 8:3, the waters receded steadily for 150 days whereas 128 days elapsed between Genesis 8:3-12 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.

  11. 10. According to Genesis 8:13, the land was dry and Noah removed the covering of the Ark on the first day of the first month.

  12. 11. According to Genesis 8:14-19, the land was completely dry and Noah left the Ark on the 27th day of the 2nd month.

  13. Thus, Noah was in the Ark a year and 17 days.

  14. A Jewish year is 360 days and a month is 30 days.

  15. 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.
