7:21. And all flesh was destroyed that moved upon the earth, both of fowl and of cattle, and of beasts, and of all creeping things that creep upon the earth: and all men. 7:22. And all things wherein there is the breath of life on the earth, died. 7:23. And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man even to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the air: and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in the ark. 7:24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days. Genesis Chapter 8 The deluge ceaseth. Noe goeth out of the ark, and offereth a sacrifice. God's covenant to him. 8:1. And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated: 8:2. The fountains also of the deep, and the floodgates of heaven, were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained. 8:3. And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days. 8:4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia. 8:5. And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared. 8:6. And after that forty days were passed, Noe opening the window of the ark, which he had made, sent forth a raven: 8:7. Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth. Did not return... The raven did not return into the ark; but (as it may be gathered from the Hebrew) went to and fro; sometimes going to the mountains, where it found carcasses to feed on: and other times returning, to rest upon the top of the ark. 8:8. He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth. 8:9. But she not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark. 8:10. And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark. 8:11. And she came to him in the evening carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth. 8:12. And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him. 8:13. Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried. 8:14. In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried. 8:15. And God spoke to Noe, saying: 8:16. Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons and the wives of thy sons with thee.
