He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship. 008:010 He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship. 008:011 The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth. 008:012 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more. 008:013 It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried. 008:014 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 008:015 God spoke to Noah, saying, 008:016 "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you. 008:017 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth." 008:018 Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him. 008:019 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship. 008:020 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 008:021 Yahweh smelled the sweet savor. Yahweh said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done. 008:022 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." 009:001 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 009:002 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand. 009:003 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you. 009:004 But flesh with the life of it, the blood of it, you shall not eat. 009:005 I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man. 009:006 Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image. 009:007 Be fruitful and multiply.
