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 remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

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 closed, and the pour of 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 retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.

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

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, 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 the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the 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.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the 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.

And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried 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 the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.

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 found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.

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

And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

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 to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low 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 he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more 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 it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.

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

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

15 And he spoke God to Noah saying.

And God spoke to Noah, saying,

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, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

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.

Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply 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, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

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

All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl — everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, 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 built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-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 Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, 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.

Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
