The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was held back.
In context
1But God remembered Noah, and every wild animal and all the livestock that were with him in the ark, and God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters began to subside. 2The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was held back. 3The waters steadily receded from the earth, and by the end of one hundred and fifty days they had gone down. 4On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
