Genesis 8:8-10

8Then he sent out a 1dove, to see if the water was low on the 2surface of the land;

9but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him in the ark, for the water was on the 3surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took it, and brought it into the ark to himself.

10So he waited another seven days longer; and again he sent out the dove from the ark.
