Genesis 8:7-12

7And he sent forthH7971 a ravenH6158, which went forthH3318 toH3318 and froH7725, until the watersH4325 were dried upH3001 from off the earthH776.1

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 arkH8392.2

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.
