1 And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the large animals that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 And the fountains of the underground reservoir and the sky’s flood gates were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained. 3 And the waters went back from the earth, going and coming back. And at the end of 150 days the waters decreased. 4 And the ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on a mountain of Ararat.* 5 And the waters went and decreased until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 And at the end of 40 days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made, 7 and he sent out a raven. And it went out, going out and coming back until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8 And he sent out a dove from him to see if the waters had subsided from the surface of the ground, 9 but the dove found no place for the sole of her foot to rest, and she came back into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. And he reached out his hand, and grabbed her, and brought her to him into the ship. 10 And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship. 11 The dove came back to him at evening time, and look, in her mouth was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from over the earth. 12 And he waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him again.
13 And it was in the 601st year, in the first
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of birds, and of large animals, and all small animals that scurry on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and reproduce, and become many on the earth.”
18 And Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him. 19 Every animal, every small animal, and every bird, whatever scurries on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 And Noah built an altar to Yehovah, and took of every clean large animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And Yehovah smelled the pleasant aroma, and Yehovah said in His heart, “I will not continue to curse the ground again any more for man’s sake, since the product of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will not continue again to strike down every living thing, as I have done.
22 All the days the earth continues,
planting and harvest,
and cold and heat,
and summer and winter,
and day and night will not cease.”
