Genesis 8

1 But God hadn't forgotten about Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the ark. God sent a wind to blow over the earth, and the floodwaters started to drop.

2 The subterranean waters were closed off, and the heavy rainfall was stopped.

3 The floodwaters steadily receded from the earth. They had gone down so much that by 150 days after the flood began

4 the ark grounded on the mountains of Ararat. This happened on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.

and to rest [the] ark in/on/with month [the] seventh in/on/with seven ten day to/for month upon mountain: mount Ararat

5 The waters continued to drop so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of mountains could be seen.

7 and sent a raven out. It flew back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up.

and to send: depart [obj] [the] raven and to come out: come to come out: come and to return: return till to wither [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet

8 Then he sent a dove out to see if the waters had gone down enough to expose dry ground.

and to send: depart [obj] [the] dove from with him to/for to see: see to lighten [the] water from upon face: surface [the] land: soil

9 But the dove couldn't find anywhere to land. So it came back to Noah in the ark because water was still covering the whole earth. He reached out his hand, picked up the dove, and took it back into the ark with him.

and not to find [the] dove resting to/for palm: sole foot her and to return: return to(wards) him to(wards) [the] ark for water upon face: surface all [the] land: country/planet and to send: reach hand his and to take: take her and to come (in): bring [obj] her to(wards) him to(wards) [the] ark

10 He waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.

and to twist: anticipate still seven day another and to add: again to send: depart [obj] [the] dove from [the] ark

11 When it came back to him in the evening it had a freshly-picked olive leaf in its beak, so Noah knew the floodwaters were mainly gone from the earth.

12 Again he waited another seven days and sent the dove out again, but this time it didn't return to him.

and to wait: wait still seven day another and to send: depart [obj] [the] dove and not to add: again to return: return to(wards) him still

13 By now Noah was 601, and by the first day of the first month, the floodwaters on the earth were gone. Noah pulled back the ark's covering and saw that the ground was drying out.

and to be in/on/with one and six hundred year in/on/with first in/on/with one to/for month to dry [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet and to turn aside: remove Noah [obj] covering [the] ark and to see: see and behold to dry face: surface [the] land: soil

14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.

and in/on/with month [the] second in/on/with seven and twenty day to/for month to wither [the] land: country/planet

15 Then God told Noah,

and to speak: speak God to(wards) Noah to/for to say

16 “Leave the ark, you and your wife, your sons and their wives.

to come out: come from [the] ark you(m. s.) and woman: wife your and son: child your and woman: wife son: child your with you

17 Let all the animals go—the birds, the wild animals, the creatures that run along the ground—so that they can breed and increase their numbers on the earth.”

18 So Noah and his wife, his sons and their wives, left the ark.

and to come out: come Noah and son: child his and woman: wife his and woman: wife son: child his with him

19 All the animals, all the creatures that run along the ground, all the birds—everything that lives on land—also left, each kind leaving together.

20 Noah built an altar, and sacrificed some of the clean animals and birds as a burnt offering.

and to build Noah altar to/for LORD and to take: take from all [the] animal [the] pure and from all [the] bird [the] pure and to ascend: offer up burnt offering in/on/with altar

21 The Lord accepted the sacrifice, and said to himself, “I won't ever again curse the ground because of human beings, even though every single thought in their minds is evil from childhood. I won't ever destroy all life again as I have just done.
