Genesis 8:6-9

6Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the 1window of the ark which he had made;

7and he sent out a raven, and it 2flew here and there until the water was dried up 3from the earth.

8Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land;

9but the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the 4surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and brought her into the ark to himself.
