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;
02 The fountains also of the deep and the
windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from
heaven was restrained;
03 And the waters returned from off the
earth continually: and after the end of the
hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
04 And the ark rested in the seventh month,
on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the
mountains of Ararat.
05 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.
06 And it came to pass at the end of forty
days, that Noah opened the window of the ark
which he had made:
07 And he sent forth a raven, which went
forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up
from off the earth.
08 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to
see if the waters were abated from off the face
of the ground;
09 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.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and
again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 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.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and
sent forth the dove; which returned not again
unto him any more.

13 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.
14 And in the second month, on the seven
and twentieth day of the month, was the earth
dried.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife,
and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 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.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and
his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and
every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the
earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the
ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord;
and took of every clean beast, and of every clean
fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and
the Lord said in his heart, I will not again
curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the
imagination of man's heart is evil from his
youth; neither will I again smite any more every
thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not cease.
