It had rained for 40 days and 40 nights; the water prevailed on the earth 150 days.  And God remembered Noah and every living thing that was with him in the Ark.  Approximately 1 year and 10 days from the time that Noah and the other inhabitants went in the Ark, they came out of the Ark.  Noah trusted YeHoVaH who told him to go into the Ark and Noah was not leaving the Ark until YeHoVaH said so.  Noah’s sacrifice to YeHoVaH moved Him to make a vow that is still in effect to this day.
