Genesis 8:1-14
1And GodH430 rememberedH2142 NoahH5146, and every living thingH2416, and all the cattleH929 that was with him in the arkH8392: and GodH430 madeH5674 a windH7307 to passH5674 overH5921 the earthH776, and the watersH4325 asswagedH7918; 2The fountainsH4599 also of the deepH8415 and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were stoppedH5534, and the rainH1653 from heavenH8064 was restrainedH3607; 3And the watersH4325 returnedH7725 from off the earthH776 continuallyH7725H1980: and after the endH7097 of the hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117 the watersH4325 were abatedH2637.1 4And the arkH8392 restedH5117 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the seventeenthH7651H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, upon the mountainsH2022 of AraratH780. 5And the watersH4325 decreasedH2637 continuallyH1980 untilH5704 the tenthH6224 monthH2320: in the tenthH6224 month, on the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, were the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 seenH7200.2
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 sent forthH7971 a ravenH6158, which went forthH3318 toH3318 and froH7725, until the watersH4325 were dried upH3001 from off the earthH776.3 8Also he sent forthH7971 a doveH3123 from him, to seeH7200 if the watersH4325 were abatedH7043 from off the faceH6440 of the groundH127; 9But the doveH3123 foundH4672 no restH4494 for the soleH3709 of her footH7272, and she returnedH7725 unto him into the arkH8392, for the watersH4325 were on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776: then he put forthH7971 his handH3027, and took herH3947, and pulled her inH935 unto him into the arkH8392.4 10And he stayedH2342 yet otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and againH3254 he sent forthH7971 the doveH3123 out of the arkH8392; 11And the doveH3123 came inH935 to him in the eveningH6153H6256; and, lo, in her mouthH6310 was an oliveH2132 leafH5929 pluckt offH2965: so NoahH5146 knewH3045 that the watersH4325 were abatedH7043 from off the earthH776. 12And he stayedH3176 yet otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and sent forthH7971 the doveH3123; which returnedH7725 not againH3254 unto him any moreH5750.
13And it came to pass in the sixH8337 hundredthH3967 and first yearH8141, in the firstH7223 month, the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, the watersH4325 were dried upH2717 from off the earthH776: and NoahH5146 removedH5493 the coveringH4372 of the arkH8392, and lookedH7200, and, behold, the faceH6440 of the groundH127 was dryH2717. 14And in the secondH8145 monthH2320, on the sevenH7651 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, was the earthH776 driedH3001.
