Genesis 8

1And GodH430 rememberedH2142 NoahH5146, and all the beasts, and all the cattleH929 that were with him in the arkH8392: and GodH430 made a windH7307 to passH5674 over the earthH776, and the watersH4325 assuaged; 2the fountains also of the deepH8415 and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were stopped, and the rainH1653 from heavenH8064 was restrainedH3607; 3and the watersH4325 returnedH7725 from off the earthH776 continually: and after the endH7097 of a hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117 the watersH4325 decreased. 4And the arkH8392 restedH5117 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the seventeenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320, upon the mountainsH2022 of AraratH780. 5And the watersH4325 decreased continually until the tenthH6224 monthH2320: in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, on the first day of the monthH2320, wereH1961 the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 seenH7200.

6And it came to pass at the endH7093 of fortyH705 daysH3117, that NoahH5146 openedH6605 the windowH2474 of the arkH8392 which he had madeH6213: 7and he sentH7971 forthH3318 a ravenH6158, and it wentH3318 forthH3318 to and fro, until the watersH4325 were driedH3001 up from off the earthH776. 8And he sentH7971 forthH7971 a doveH3123 from him, to seeH7200 if the watersH4325 were abated from off the faceH6440 of the groundH127; 9but the doveH3123 foundH4672 no restH4494 for the soleH3709 of her footH7272, and she returnedH7725 unto him to the arkH8392; for the watersH4325 were on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776: and he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 her, and broughtH935 her in unto him into the arkH8392. 10And he stayed yetH5750 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and againH5750 he sentH7971 forthH7971 the doveH3123 out of the arkH8392; 11and the doveH3123 cameH935 in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouthH6310 an olive-leaf plucked off: so NoahH5146 knewH3045 that the watersH4325 were abated from off the earthH776. 12And he stayed yetH5750 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and sentH7971 forthH7971 the doveH3123; and she returnedH7725 not againH5750 unto him any more.

13And it came to pass in the sixH8337 hundredH3967 and firstH7223 yearH8141, in the firstH7223 monthH2320, the firstH7223 day of the monthH2320, the watersH4325 wereH1961 dried up from off the earthH776: and NoahH5146 removedH5493 the coveringH4372 of the arkH8392, and lookedH7200, and, behold, the faceH6440 of the groundH776 wasH1961 dried. 14And in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentieth dayH3117 of the monthH2320, was the earthH776 dryH3001. 15And GodH430 spake unto NoahH5146, sayingH559, 16GoH3318 forthH3318 from the arkH8392, thou, and thy wifeH802, and thy sonsH1121, and thy sons’H1121 wivesH802 with thee. 17BringH3318 forthH3318 with thee every living thingH7431 that is with thee of all fleshH1320, both birdsH5775, and cattleH929, and every creepingH7431 thingH7431 that creepeth upon the earthH776; that they may breed abundantly in the earthH776, and be fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 upon the earthH776. 18And NoahH5146 wentH3318 forthH3318, and his sonsH1121, and his wifeH802, and his sons’H1121 wivesH802 with him: 19every beast, every creepingH7431 thingH7431, and every birdH5775, whatsoever moveth upon the earthH776, after their familiesH4940, wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the arkH8392.

20And NoahH5146 builded an altarH4196 unto Jehovah, and tookH3947 of every cleanH2889 beast, and of every cleanH2889 birdH5775, and offeredH5927 burnt-offerings on the altarH4196. 21And Jehovah smelledH7306 the sweet savor; and Jehovah saidH559 in his heartH3820, I will not againH5750 curseH7043 the groundH127 any more for man’sH120 sakeH5668, for that the imagination of man’sH120 heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; neither will I againH5750 smite any more everythingH3605 living, as I have done. 22While the earthH776 remaineth, seedtime and harvestH7105, and cold and heatH2527, and summerH7019 and winterH2779, and dayH3117 and nightH3915 shall not ceaseH7673.
