God considered Noah, all the wild animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters started going 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.
The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and it stopped raining.
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].
The flood waters went down slowly from the earth, and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had gone down.

The ark came to rest in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon 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.
The waters continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of the month, the tops 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.
It came about after 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.

8 And he sent out the dove from with him to see ¿ were they abated the waters from on [the] surface of the ground.
Then he sent out a dove to see if the waters had gone down from the surface 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 found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, for the waters were still covering the whole earth. He reached out with his hand, and took and brought her into the ark with him.
10 And he waited again seven days other and he repeated to send out the dove from the ark.
He waited another seven days and again he sent out 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.
The dove returned to him in the evening. Look! In her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had gone down from 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.
He waited another seven days, and sent out the dove again. She did not return again 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.
It came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark, looked out, and saw that, behold, the surface of the ground was dry.
14 And in the month second on [the] seven and twenty day of the month was dry the earth.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 And he spoke God to Noah saying.
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, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives 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.
Take out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with you—the birds, the animals, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth—so that they may grow unto very large numbers of living creatures throughout the earth, be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.”
18 And he went out Noah and sons his and wife his and [the] wives of sons his with him.
So Noah went out with his sons, 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 living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, according to their families, left the ark.

Noah built an altar to Yahweh. He took some of the clean animals and some of the clean birds, and offered 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.
Yahweh smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground because of mankind, even though the intentions of their hearts is evil from childhood. Nor will I again destroy everything living, 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 remains, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
