Gen 8:1

Gen 8:1God remembered Noach, all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the teivah; and God made a wind to pass over the eretz. The waters subsided.

Gen 8:2

Gen 8:2The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

Gen 8:6

Gen 8:6It happened at the end of forty days, that Noach opened the window of the teivah which he had made,

Gen 8:7

Gen 8:8

Gen 8:8He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the surface of the ground,

Gen 8:9

Gen 8:9but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the teivah; for the waters were on the surface of the whole eretz. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the teivah.

Gen 8:10

Gen 8:10He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the teivah.

Gen 8:11

Gen 8:11The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noach knew that the waters were abated from off the eretz.

Gen 8:12

Gen 8:12He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.

Gen 8:13

Gen 8:13It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the eretz. Noach removed the covering of the teivah, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

Gen 8:14

Gen 8:14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the eretz was dry.

Gen 8:15

Gen 8:15God spoke to Noach, saying,

Gen 8:16

Gen 8:16"Go forth from the teivah, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

Gen 8:17

Gen 8:17Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, cattle, and every creeping thing that creeps on the eretz; that they may breed abundantly in the eretz, and be fruitful, and multiply on the eretz."

Gen 8:18

Gen 8:18Noach went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

Gen 8:19

Gen 8:19Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the eretz, after their families, went forth out of the teivah.

Gen 8:20

Gen 8:20Noach built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Gen 8:21

Gen 8:21The LORD smelled the sweet savor. The LORD said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

Gen 8:22

Gen 8:22While the eretz remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
