~Genesis 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and allthe cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to passover the earth, and the waters assuaged;
~Genesis 8:2 the fountains also of the deep and the windows ofheaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
~Genesis 8:3 and the waters returned from off the earth continually:and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
~Genesis 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on theseventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
~Genesis 8:5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenthmonth: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were thetops of the mountains seen.
~Genesis 8:6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noahopened the window of the ark which he had made:
~Genesis 8:7 and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro,until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
~Genesis 8:8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waterswere abated from off the face of the ground;
~Genesis 8:9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, andshe returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face ofthe whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and broughther in unto him into the ark.
~Genesis 8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sentforth the dove out of the ark;
~Genesis 8:11 and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in hermouth an olive-leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters wereabated from off the earth.
~Genesis 8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth thedove; and she returned not again unto him any more.
~Genesis 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, inthe first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried upfrom off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, andlooked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.
~Genesis 8:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentiethday of the month, was the earth dry.
~Genesis 8:15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
~Genesis 8:16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons,and thy sons' wives with thee.
~Genesis 8:17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with theeof all flesh, both birds, and cattle, and every creeping thing thatcreepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth,and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
~Genesis 8:18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, andhis sons' wives with him:
~Genesis 8:19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird,whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth outof the ark.
~Genesis 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto Jehovah, and took ofevery clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offeringson the altar.
~Genesis 8:21 And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah saidin his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man'ssake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth;neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.
~Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, andcold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall notcease
