01:007:024 And the waters prevailed upon the earth
an hundred and fifty
days.
01:008:001 And God remembered Noah, and every living
thing, and all the
cattle
that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind
to
pass
over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
01:008:002 The fountains also of the deep and the
windows of heaven were
stopped,
and the rain from heaven was restrained;
01:008:003 And the waters returned from off the earth
continually: and
after
the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were
abated.
01:008:004 And the ark rested in the seventh month,
on the seventeenth
day
of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
01:008:005 And the waters decreased continually until
the tenth month: in
the
tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the
tops
of
the mountains seen.
01:008:006 And it came to pass at the end of forty
days, that Noah opened
the
window of the ark which he had made:
01:008:007 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth
to and fro, until
the
waters were dried up from off the earth.
01:008:008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to
see if the waters were
abated
from off the face of the ground;
01:008:009 But the dove found no rest for the sole
of her foot, and she
returned
unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the
face
of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand,
and took
her,
and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
01:008:010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and
again he sent forth
the
dove out of the ark;
01:008:011 And the dove came in to him in the evening;
and, lo, in her
mouth
was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that
the
waters
were abated from off the earth.
01:008:012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and
sent forth the dove;
which
returned not again unto him any more.
01:008:013 And it came to pass in the six hundredth
and first year, in
the
first month, the first day of the month, the waters
were
dried
up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering
of
the
ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground
was
dry.
01:008:014 And in the second month, on the seven and
twentieth day of the
month,
was the earth dried.
01:008:015 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
01:008:016 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife,
and thy sons, and thy
sons’
wives with thee.
01:008:017 Bring forth with thee every living thing
that is with thee, of
all
flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping
thing
that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed
abundantly
in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon
the
earth.
