Genesis 8:14
“And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 8Meaning
The long recession process reaches the point where the earth is described as fully dry.
Read carefully
The dates structure the narrative, but modern reconstructions should not claim more calendar precision than the text supplies.
Reflection
A long period of waiting reaches genuine completion before life outside resumes.
