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 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,

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

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

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 rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on 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 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.

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 comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he 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 sends forth the raven, and it goes out, going out and turning back until the drying of the waters from off 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 sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of 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.

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.

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

And he stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from 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 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.

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 stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.

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 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.

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 has become dry.

15 And he spoke God to Noah saying.

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

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

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;

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.

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

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

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 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;

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.

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.”
