Genesis 8

¹Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.

²The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,

³And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.

⁴And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.

⁵And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.

⁶So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,

⁷And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.

⁸Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.

⁹But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.

¹⁰And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.

¹¹And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.
