GE-8:1  And 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 asswaged;

GE-8:2  The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven

were

stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

GE-8:3  And the waters returned from off the earth continually:

and

after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were

abated.

GE-8:4  And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the

seventeenth

day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

GE-8:5  And 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.

GE-8:6  And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah

opened

the window of the ark which he had made:

GE-8:7  And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,

until

the waters were dried up from off the earth.

GE-8:8  Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters

were

abated from off the face of the ground;

GE-8:9  But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and

she

returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the

face of

the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and

pulled

her in unto him into the ark.

GE-8:10  And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent

forth

the dove out of the ark;

GE-8:11  And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in

her

mouth [was] an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the

waters

were abated from off the earth.

GE-8:12  And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the

dove;

which returned not again unto him any more.

GE-8:13  And it came to pass in 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, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

GE-8:14  And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day

of

the month, was the earth dried.

GE-8:15  And God spake unto Noah, saying,

GE-8:16  Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons,

and

thy sons' wives with thee.

GE-8:17  Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with

thee,

of all flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every

creeping

thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed

abundantly in

the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

GE-8:18  And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his

sons' wives with him:

GE-8:19  Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and]

whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went

forth out

of the ark.

GE-8:20  And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of

every

clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt

offerings on

the altar.

GE-8:21  And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; 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 smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

GE-8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and

cold and

heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
