Genesis 8

¹And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;

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 a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.

⁴And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon 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.

⁶And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

⁷and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

⁸And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

⁹but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.

¹⁰And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

¹¹and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
