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.
