Genesis 8:6-12
AfterH7093 fortyH705 daysH3117 NoahH5146 openedH6605 the windowH2474 he had madeH6213 in the arkH8392 7and sent outH7971 a ravenH6158. It kept flying back and forthH3318H7725 untilH5704 the watersH4325 had dried upH3001 fromH5921 the earthH776.
8Then Noah sent outH79711 a doveH3123 to seeH7200 if the watersH4325 had recededH7043 fromH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the groundH127. 9But the doveH3123 foundH4672 noH3808 place to restH4494 her footH3709H7272, and she returnedH7725 to himH413 inH413 the arkH8392, becauseH3588 the watersH4325 were still coveringH5921 the surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776. So he reached outH7971 his handH3027H3947 and broughtH935 herH853 backH413 insideH413 the arkH8392.
10Noah waitedH2342H5750 sevenH7651 moreH312 daysH3117 and againH3254 sent outH7971 the doveH3123 fromH4480 the arkH8392. 11And beholdH2009, the doveH3123 returnedH935 to himH413 in the eveningH6256H6153 with a freshly pluckedH2965 oliveH2132 leafH5929 in her beakH6310. So NoahH5146 knewH3045 thatH3588 the watersH4325 had recededH7043 fromH5921 the earthH776.
12And Noah waitedH3176H5750 sevenH7651 moreH312 daysH3117 and sent outH7971 the dove againH3123, but this timeH3254H5750H3808 she did not returnH7725 to himH413.
