Genesis 8

1 And God remembered Noe, and all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and all the birds, and all the reptiles that creep, as many as were with him in the ark, and God brought a wind upon the earth, and the water stayed.

And he remembered God Noah and every animal and all the livestock which [were] with him in the ark and he made to pass God a wind over the earth and they subsided the waters.

2 And the fountains of the deep were closed up, and the flood-gates of heaven, and the rain from heaven was withheld.

And they were shut up [the] springs of [the] deep and [the] floodgates of the heavens and it was restrained the rain from the heavens.

3 And the water subsided, and went off the earth, and after an hundred and fifty days the water was diminished, and the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

And they turned back the waters from on the earth going and turning back and they decreased the waters from [the] end of fifty and one hundred day[s].

4 And the water continued to decrease until the tenth month.

And it rested the ark in the month seventh on [the] seven-teen day of the month on [the] mountains of Ararat.

5 And in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.

And the waters they were going and decreasing until the month tenth in the tenth [month] on [day] one of the month they were seen [the] tops of the mountains.

6 And it came to pass after forty days Noe opened the window of the ark which he had made.

And it was from [the] end of forty day[s] and he opened Noah [the] window of the ark which he had made.

7 And he sent forth a raven; and it went forth and returned not until the water was dried from off the earth.

And he sent out the raven and it went out continuously and returned until dried up the waters from on the earth.

8 And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.

And he sent out the dove from with him to see ¿ were they abated the waters from on [the] surface of the ground.

9 And the dove not having found rest for her feet, returned to him into the ark, because the water was on all the face of the earth, and he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself into the ark.

And not found the dove a resting place for [the] sole of foot its and it returned to him into the ark for water [was] on [the] surface of all the earth and he stretched out hand his and he took it and he brought it to him into the ark.

10 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove from the ark.

And he waited again seven days other and he repeated to send out the dove from the ark.

11 And the dove returned to him in the evening, and had a leaf of olive, a sprig in her mouth; and Noe knew that the water had ceased from off the earth.

And it came to him the dove to [the] time of evening and there! a leaf of olive freshly plucked [was] in mouth its and he knew Noah that they were abated the waters from on the earth.

12 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him again any more.

And he waited again seven days other and he sent out the dove and not it repeated to return to him again.

13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year of the life of Noe, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the water subsided from off the earth, and Noe opened the covering of the ark which he had made, and he saw that the water had subsided from the face of the earth.

And it was in one and six hundred year in the first [month] on [day] one of the month they were dried up the waters from on the earth and he removed Noah [the] covering of the ark and he saw and there! they were dried up [the] surface of the ground.

14 And in the second month the earth was dried, on the twenty-seventh day of the month.

And in the month second on [the] seven and twenty day of the month was dry the earth.

15 And the Lord God spoke to Noe, saying,

And he spoke God to Noah saying.

16 Come out from the ark, you and your wife and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

Go out from the ark you and wife your and sons your and [the] wives of sons your with you.

17 And all the wild beasts as many as are with you, and all flesh both of birds and beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, bring forth with you: and increase you and multiply upon the earth.

Every animal which [is] with you some of all flesh among the bird[s] and among the livestock and among every creeping thing which creeps on the earth (bring out *Q(k)*) with you and they will swarm on the earth and they will be fruitful and they will multiply on the earth.

18 And Noe came forth, and his wife and his sons, and his sons' wives with him.

And he went out Noah and sons his and wife his and [the] wives of sons his with him.

19 And all the wild beasts and all the cattle and every bird, and every reptile creeping upon the earth after their kind, came forth out of the ark.

Every animal every creeping thing and every bird every creeping [thing] on the earth to families their they went out from the ark.

20 And Noe built an altar to the Lord, and took of all clean beasts, and of all clean birds, and offered a whole burnt offering upon the altar.

And he built Noah an altar to Yahweh and he took some of all - the livestock clean and some of every bird clean and he offered up burnt offerings on the altar.

21 And the Lord God smelled a smell of sweetness, and the Lord God having considered, said, I will not any more curse the earth, because of the works of men, because the imagination of man is intently bent upon evil things from his youth, I will not therefore any more strike all living flesh as I have done.

And he smelled Yahweh [the] odor of soothing and he said Yahweh to heart his not I will repeat to curse again the ground for sake of humankind for [the] inclination of [the] heart of humankind [is] evil since youth his and not I will repeat again to strike down every living [thing] just as I have done.

22 All the days of the earth, seed and harvest, cold and heat, summer and spring, shall not cease by day or night.

Again all [the] days of the earth seed and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter and day and night not they will cease.
