Genesis 8
GEN 8:1 And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle
which `are' with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth,
and the waters subside,
GEN 8:2 and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the
heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.
GEN 8:3 And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning;
and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
GEN 8:4 And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the
month, on mountains of Ararat;
GEN 8:5 and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth
month; in the tenth `month', on the first of the month, appeared the heads of
the mountains.
GEN 8:6 And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the
window of the ark which he made,
GEN 8:7 and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning
back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.
GEN 8:8 And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have
been lightened from off the face of the ground,
GEN 8:9 and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she
turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters `are' on the face of all the
earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto
him, unto the ark.
GEN 8:10 And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove
from the ark;
GEN 8:11 and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf
torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from
off the earth.
GEN 8:12 And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it
added not to turn back unto him any more.
GEN 8:13 And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first
`month', in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the
earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the
face of the ground hath been dried.
GEN 8:14 And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month,
the earth hath become dry.
GEN 8:15 And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, `Go out from the ark, thou, and thy
wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;
GEN 8:16 every living thing that `is' with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and
among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth,
bring out with thee;
GEN 8:17 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have
multiplied on the earth.'
GEN 8:18 And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives
with him;
GEN 8:19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing
on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.
GEN 8:20 And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast,
and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;
GEN 8:21 and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His
heart, `I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though
the imagination of the heart of man `is' evil from his youth; and I continue not
to smite any more all living, as I have done;
GEN 8:22 during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
