But God (did not forget/thought) about Noah and all the wild animals and all the kinds of livestock that were with him in the boat. So one day God sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the wind caused the water [to begin] to recede.

2 and to stop spring abyss and window [the] heaven and to restrain [the] rain from [the] heaven

God caused the water that was under the earth to stop bursting forth, and he caused the floodgates of water from the sky to close so that it stopped raining.

3 and to return: return [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet to go: continue and to return: again and to lack [the] water from end fifty and hundred day

The water on the earth gradually receded. 150 days after the flood began,

(on the 17th day of the seventh month [of that year/late in March]), the boat came to rest on one of the mountains in the Ararat region.

The water continued to recede until, on the first day of the tenth month [of that year], the tops of other mountains became visible.

6 and to be from end forty day and to open Noah [obj] window [the] ark which to make

40 days later, Noah opened the window that he had made in the side of the boat, and sent out a raven.

7 and to send: depart [obj] [the] raven and to come out: come to come out: come and to return: return till to wither [the] water from upon [the] land: country/planet

The raven flew back and forth [to and from the boat] until the water was completely gone.

8 and to send: depart [obj] [the] dove from with him to/for to see: see to lighten [the] water from upon face: surface [the] land: soil

Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had all receded on the ground.

But the dove did not find any place to perch, so it flew back to Noah in the boat, because there was still water all over the surface of the earth. So Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back inside the boat.

10 and to twist: anticipate still seven day another and to add: again to send: depart [obj] [the] dove from [the] ark

Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out of the boat again.

This time the dove returned to him in the evening and, [surprisingly], in its beak there was a leaf from an olive tree that the dove had just plucked. Then Noah knew that the water had truly receded from the surface of the ground.

12 and to wait: wait still seven day another and to send: depart [obj] [the] dove and not to add: again to return: return to(wards) him still

Noah waited seven more days. Then he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

Noah was now 601 years old. By the first day of the first month [of the Jewish year], the water had completely drained away from the ground. Noah removed the covering on top of the ark, and he was surprised to see that the surface of the ground was drying.

14 and in/on/with month [the] second in/on/with seven and twenty day to/for month to wither [the] land: country/planet

By the 27th day of the next month, the ground was completely dry.

15 and to speak: speak God to(wards) Noah to/for to say

Then God said to Noah,

16 to come out: come from [the] ark you(m. s.) and woman: wife your and son: child your and woman: wife son: child your with you

“Leave the boat, along with your wife and your sons and their wives.

17 all [the] living thing which with you from all flesh in/on/with bird and in/on/with animal and in/on/with all [the] creeping [the] to creep upon [the] land: country/planet (to come out: send *Q(k)*) with you and to swarm in/on/with land: country/planet and be fruitful and to multiply upon [the] land: country/planet

Bring out with you all the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that scurry across the ground, in order that they can spread all over the earth and become very numerous.”

18 and to come out: come Noah and son: child his and woman: wife his and woman: wife son: child his with him

So Noah left the boat, along with his wife and his sons and their wives.

19 all [the] living thing all [the] creeping and all [the] bird all to creep upon [the] land: country/planet to/for family their to come out: come from [the] ark

And every kind of creature, including all those that scurry across the ground, all the birds, every creature that moves on the earth, left the boat. They left the boat in groups of their own species.

20 and to build Noah altar to/for LORD and to take: take from all [the] animal [the] pure and from all [the] bird [the] pure and to ascend: offer up burnt offering in/on/with altar

Then Noah built a (stone altar/place for offering sacrifices) to Yahweh. Then he took some of the animals that Yahweh had said were acceptable as sacrifices and killed them. Then he burned them whole on the altar.

21 and to smell LORD [obj] aroma [the] soothing and to say LORD to(wards) heart his not to add: again to/for to lighten still [obj] [the] land: soil in/on/with for the sake of [the] man for intention heart [the] man bad: evil from youth his and not to add: again still to/for to smite [obj] all alive like/as as which to make: do

When Yahweh smelled the pleasant odor, he was pleased with the sacrifice. Then he said to himself, “I will never again devastate everything on the earth because of the sinful things people do. Even though everything that people think is evil from the time they are young, I will not destroy all the living creatures again, as I did this time.

22 still all day [the] land: country/planet seed and harvest and cold and heat and summer and autumn and day and night not to cease

As long as the earth exists, each year there will be seasons for planting seeds and seasons for harvesting crops. Each year there will be times when it is cold and times when it is hot, summer and winter (OR, rainy season and dry season). Each day there will be daytime and nighttime.”
