Genesis 8:8-12

8Then he sentH7971 out a doveH3123 from him, to seeH7200 if the waterH4325 was abatedH7043 from the faceH6440 of the landH127; 9but the doveH3123 foundH4672 noH3808 restingH4494 placeH4494 for the soleH3709 of her footH7272, so she returnedH7725 to him into the arkH8392, for the waterH4325 was on the 1surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776. Then he putH7971 out his handH3027 and tookH3947 her, and broughtH935 her into the arkH8392 to himself. 10So he waitedH2342 yetH5750 anotherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and againH3254 he sentH7971 out the doveH3123 from the arkH8392. 11The doveH3123 cameH935 to him toward 2eveningH6153, and beholdH2009, in her 3beakH6310 was a freshlyH2965 pickedH2965 oliveH2132 leafH5929. So NoahH5146 knewH3045 that the waterH4325 was abatedH7043 from the earthH776. 12Then he waitedH3176 yetH5750 anotherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and sentH7971 out 4the doveH3123; but she did not returnH7725 to him againH3254.
