01:007:023 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the
face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and
the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and
Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
01:007:024 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty
days.
01:008:001 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the
cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over
the earth, and the waters asswaged;
01:008:002 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven
were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
01:008:003 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and
after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
01:008:004 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth
day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
01:008:005 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month:
in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the
mountains seen.
01:008:006 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah
opened the window of the ark which he had made:
01:008:007 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,
until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
01:008:008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters
were abated from off the face of the ground;
01:008:009 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she
returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the
whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her
in unto him into the ark.
01:008:010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
the dove out of the ark;
01:008:011 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her
mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were
abated from off the earth.
01:008:012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove;
which returned not again unto him any more.
01:008:013 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in
the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up
from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and
looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
01:008:014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of
the month, was the earth dried.
01:008:015 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
01:008:016 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and
thy sons' wives with thee.
01:008:017 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee,
of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the
earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
01:008:018 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons' wives with him:
