International Standard Version

1But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

1God kept Noah in mind, along with all the wildlife and livestock that were with him in the ark. God's Spirit moved throughout the earth, causing the flood waters to subside.

2The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

2The water sources from the ocean depths were blocked and the floodgates of the heavens were closed.

3The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

3Then the flood waters steadily receded, diminishing completely by the end of the 150 days.

4On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

4The ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.

5And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

5The flood water continued to recede until the tenth month, when, on the first of that month, the tops of the mountains could be seen.

6After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

6After 40 days, Noah opened the window of the ark that he had built

7and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

7and sent out a raven. It went back and forth as the flood water continued to evaporate throughout the earth.

8Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

8Later, he sent a dove out from the ark to see whether the water that covered the land's surface had completely receded,

9But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.

9but the dove could not yet find a place to rest, so it returned to Noah on the ark, since water still covered the land. Noah reached out his hand and took the dove back into the ark with him.

10Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

10Noah waited another seven days and sent the dove out from the ark again.

11And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

11The dove returned to him in the evening, but in its beak there was an olive leaf that it had plucked! So Noah knew that the flood waters had decreased on the land.

12And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

12He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but it did not return to him anymore.

13In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

13In the six hundred and first year of Noah's life, during the first month, the flood water began to evaporate from the land. Noah then removed the ark's cover and saw that the surface of the land was drying.

14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the ground was dry.

15Then God said to Noah,

15God spoke to Noah,

16“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

16"It's time for you, your wife, your sons, and your sons' wives who are with you to leave the ark.

17Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

17Bring out with you every living creature—including the flying creatures, animals, and everything that crawls on the ground—so they may disperse throughout the land, be fruitful, and multiply throughout the earth."

18So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

18So Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives emerged.

19Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

19Every animal, every crawling thing, every flying creature, and everything that moves on the earth emerged from the ark by groups.

20Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

20Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and offered burnt offerings on it from every clean animal and every clean bird.

21When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

21When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, he told himself, "I will never again curse the land because of human beings—even though human inclinations remain evil from youth—nor will I destroy every living being ever again, as I've done.

22As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”

22"Never again, as long as the earth exists, will sowing and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night ever cease."
