Genesis 8

1 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 assuaged;

And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.

3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;

5 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.

and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.

6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,

7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.

8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,

9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to 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 to him into the ark.

and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.

10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;

11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, see, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.

12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again to him any more.

And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back 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.

And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.

14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.

15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,

And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;

16 Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.

every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;

17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.

and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'

18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:

And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;

19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatever creeps on the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.

20 And Noah built an altar to the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

21 And the LORD smelled a sweet smell; 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.

and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;

22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
