Genesis 8:5
“And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 8Meaning
The receding waters expose mountain tops as the flood landscape gradually becomes visible again.
Read carefully
Visible mountain tops do not yet mean the land is dry enough for ordinary habitation.
Reflection
Recovery is progressive, and visible change can precede full restoration.
