Genesis 8
- 1And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters went down.
- 2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
- 3And the waters returned from off the earth continually. And after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.
- 4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
- 5And 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.
- 6At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
- 7And he sent out a raven, which went out back and forth, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
- 8Also he sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters had gone down from off the face of the ground.
- 9But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he put out his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.
- 10And he stayed yet other seven days, and again he sent out the dove out of the ark.
- 11And the dove came in to him in the evening, and in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from off the earth.
- 12And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him any more.
- 13In the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and the face of the ground was dry.
- 14And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
- 15And God spoke to Noah, saying,
- 16Go out from the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
- 17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of birds, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.
- 18And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
- 19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every birds, and whatever creeps on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.
- 20And Noah built an altar to the Lord. And he took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
- 21And the Lord smelled a sweet aroma. And the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I again strike any more everything living, as I have done.
- 22While the earth remains, planting time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not stop.
