Genesis 8

1 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.

And God kept Noah in mind, and all the living things and the cattle which were with him in the ark: and God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters went down.

2 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.

And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were shut, and the rain from heaven was stopped.

3 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].

And the waters went slowly back from the earth, and at the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters were lower.

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

And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5 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.

And still the waters went on falling, till on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.

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

Then, after forty days, through the open window of the ark which he had made,

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

Noah sent out a raven, which went this way and that till the waters were gone from the earth.

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

And he sent out a dove, to see if the waters had gone from the face of the earth;

9 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.

But the dove saw no resting-place for her foot, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still over all the earth; and he put out his hand, and took her into the ark.

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

And after waiting another seven days, he sent the dove out again;

11 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.

And the dove came back at evening, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah was certain that the waters had gone down on the earth.

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

And after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.

13 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.

And in the six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters were dry on the earth: and Noah took the cover off the ark and saw that the face of the earth was dry.

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

And on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was dry.

15 And he spoke God to Noah saying.

And God said to Noah,

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

Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.

17 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.

Take out with you every living thing which is with you, birds and cattle and everything which goes on the earth, so that they may have offspring and be fertile and be increased on the earth.

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

And Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives;

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

And every beast and bird and every living thing of every sort which goes on the earth, went out of the ark.

20 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.

And Noah made an altar to the Lord, and from every clean beast and bird he made burned offerings on the altar.

21 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.

And when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.

22 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.

While the earth goes on, seed time and the getting in of the grain, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not come to an end.
