Genesis 8:8-12

8Then he sent out a dove to see whether the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9But the dove did not find a resting place for the sole of her foot. She returned to him in the ark because water covered the surface of the whole land. He stretched out his hand and he took her, and brought her to him into the ark.

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

11The dove came to him at evening, and surprisingly—a freshly plucked olive leaf was in its mouth. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the land.

12After he waited seven more days, he sent out the dove, but she did not return to him again.
