Genesis 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.

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 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.

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 waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.

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 ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.

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

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.

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 after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:

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

7 Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon 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 He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of 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 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.

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 out of the ark.

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

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.

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 he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.

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

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.

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 In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.

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

15 And God spoke to Noe, saying:

And he spoke God to Noah saying.

16 Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.

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

17 All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it.

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 So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.

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

19 And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, went 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 unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts 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 smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man’s heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul 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, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.

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.
