Darby Bible

1And 1GodH430 rememberedH2142 NoahH5146, and all the animalsH929, and all the cattleH929 that were with him in the arkH8392; and 2GodH430 made a windH7307 to passH5674 over the earthH776, and the watersH4325 subsided. 2And the fountains of the deepH8415 and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were closed, and the pour of rainH1653 from heavenH8064 was stopped. 3And the watersH4325 retired from the earthH776, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117 the watersH4325 abated. 4And the arkH8392 restedH5117 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the seventeenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320, on the mountainsH2022 of AraratH780. 5And the watersH4325 abated continually until the tenthH6224 monthH2320: in the tenthH6224 [monthH2320], on the first of the monthH2320, the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 wereH1961 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 out the ravenH6158, which wentH3318 forthH3318 goingH3318 to and fro, until the watersH4325 were driedH3001 from the earthH776. 8And he sentH7971 out the doveH3123 from him, to seeH7200 if the watersH4325 had become low on the groundH127. 9But the doveH3123 foundH4672 no resting-place for the soleH3709 of her footH7272, and returnedH7725 to him into the arkH8392; for the watersH4325 were on the whole earthH776; and he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 her, and broughtH935 her to him into the arkH8392. 10And he waited yetH5750 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and againH5750 he sentH7971 forthH7971 the doveH3123 out of the arkH8392. 11And the doveH3123 cameH935 to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and NoahH5146 knewH3045 that the watersH4325 had become low on the earthH776. 12And he waitedH3176 yetH5750 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and sentH7971 forthH7971 the doveH3123; but she returnedH7725 no more to him. 13And it came to pass in the sixH8337 hundredH3967 and firstH7223 yearH8141, in the firstH7223 [monthH2320], on the firstH7223 of the monthH2320, that the watersH4325 wereH1961 dried up from the earthH776. And NoahH5146 removedH5493 the coveringH4372 of the arkH8392, and lookedH7200, and behold, the surfaceH6440 of the groundH776 wasH1961 dried. 14And in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the twenty-seventh dayH3117 of the monthH2320, the earthH776 was dryH3001. 15And 3GodH430 spokeH1696 to NoahH5146, sayingH559, 16GoH3318 out of the arkH8392, thou, and thy wifeH802, and thy sonsH1121, and thy sons' wivesH802 with thee. 17BringH3318 forthH3318 with thee every animalH929 which is with thee, of all fleshH1320, fowl as well as cattleH929, and all the creepingH7431 things which creepH7430 on the earthH776, that they may swarmH8317 on the earthH776, and may be fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235 on the earthH776. 18And NoahH5146 wentH3318 out, and his sonsH1121, and his wifeH802, and his sons' wivesH802 with him. 19All the animalsH2416, all the creepingH7431 things, and all the fowl — everythingH3605 that moves on the earthH776, after their kinds, wentH3318 out of the arkH8392. 20And NoahH5146 builtH1129 an altarH4196 to Jehovah; and tookH3947 of every cleanH2889 animalH929, and of all cleanH2889 fowl, and offeredH5927 up burnt-offerings on the altarH4196. 21And Jehovah smelledH7306 the sweet odour. And Jehovah saidH559 in his heartH3820, I will no more henceforth curseH7043 the groundH127 on account of ManH120, for the thought of Man's heartH3820 is evilH7451 from his youthH5271; and I will no more smite every living thingH7043, as I have done. 22Henceforth, all the daysH3117 of the earthH776, seedH2233 [time] and harvestH7105, and cold and heatH2527, and summerH7019 and winterH2779, and dayH3117 and nightH3915, shall not ceaseH7673.
