Genesis 8

1 And God remembers Noah, and every living thing, and all the livestock which [are] with him in the Ark, and God causes a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

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 and the fountains of the deep and the network of the heavens are closed, and the shower is restrained from the heavens.

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 return from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of one hundred and fifty days.

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 rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on 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 have been going and decreasing until the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the heads of the mountains appeared.

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 comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he 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 sends forth the raven, and it goes out, going out and turning back until the drying of the waters 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 And he sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened 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 and the dove has not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turns back to him, to the Ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he puts out his hand, and takes her, and brings 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 stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from the Ark;

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

11 and the dove comes to him at evening, and behold, an olive leaf [is] torn off in her mouth; and Noah knows that the waters have been lightened 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 stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.

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 comes to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turns aside the covering of the Ark, and looks, and behold, the face of the ground has been dried.

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 twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth has become dry.

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

15 And God speaks to Noah, saying, “Go out from the Ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you;

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 every living thing that [is] with you, of all flesh, among bird, and among livestock, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out 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 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.”

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

18 And Noah goes out, 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 bird; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from 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 builds an altar to YHWH, and takes from every clean beast and from every clean bird, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend 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 YHWH smells the refreshing fragrance, and YHWH says to His heart, “I do not continue to disfavor the ground because of man anymore, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I do not continue to strike all living anymore, 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 during all [the] days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night never 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.'
