Genesis 8:8-12

8Then he sentH7971 outH7971 a 1doveH3123, to seeH7200 if the waterH4325 wasH7043 lowH7043 on the 2surfaceH6440 of the landH127; 9but the doveH3123 foundH4672 noH3808 restingH4494 placeH4494 for the soleH3709 of its footH7272, so it returnedH7725 to him in the arkH8392, for the waterH4325 was on the 3surfaceH6440 of allH3605 the earthH776. Then he putH7971 outH7971 his handH3027 and tookH3947 it, and broughtH935 it into the arkH8392 to himself. 10So he waitedH3176 anotherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117 longerH5750; and againH3254 he sentH7971 outH7971 the doveH3123 from the arkH8392. 11And the doveH3123 cameH935 to him in 4the eveningH6153, and beholdH2009, in its 5beakH6310 was a freshH2965 oliveH2132 leafH5929. So NoahH5146 knewH3045 that the waterH4325 wasH7043 lowH7043 on the earthH776. 12Then he waitedH3176 anotherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117 longerH5750, and sentH7971 outH7971 6the doveH3123; but it did not returnH7725 to him againH3254.
