Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 8:7 - and he sent out a raven, and it [fn]flew here and there until the water was dried up [fn]from the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 8:8 - Then he sent out a [fn]dove, to see if the water was low on the [fn]surface of the land;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 8:9 - but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him in the ark, for the water was on the [fn]surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took it, and brought it into the ark to himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 8:10 - So he waited another seven days longer; and again he sent out the dove from the ark.

Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took some of every kind of clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 8:21 - The LORD smelled the soothing aroma, and the LORD said [fn]to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the [fn]intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again [fn]destroy every living thing, as I have done.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 8:22 -

“While the earth remains,

Seedtime and harvest,

Cold and heat,

Summer and winter,

And day and night

Shall not cease.”
