1 And God remebred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with hym in the arke: and God made a wynde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceassed. But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.
2 The fountaynes also of the deepe, and the windowes of heauen were stopped, and the rayne from heauen was restrayned. The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky.
3 And the waters from the earth returned, goyng and comming agayne: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftith day, the waters were abated. and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated, The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down,

5 And the waters were goyng and decreasing vntyll the tenth moneth: In the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the same moneth, were the toppes of the mountaynes seene. And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen. 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.
6 And after the ende of the fourtith day, it came to passe that Noah opened the wyndowe of the arke which he had made, At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark
7 And he sent foorth a Rauen, whiche went out, goyng foorth, and returnyng, vntyll the waters were dryed vp vpon the earth. and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.
8 And agayne he sent foort a Doue from him, that he myght see yf the waters were abated from the vpper face of the grounde. Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground.
9 And the Doue founde no rest for the sole of her foote, and she returned vnto him into the arke, for the waters were in the vpper face of the whole earth, Then he put foorth his hande, & tooke her, and pulled her to him into the arke. But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark.
10 And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and agayne he sent foorth the Doue out of the arke: He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11 And the Doue came to hym in the euentide, and loe, in her mouth was an Oliue leafe that she had pluct, wherby Noah dyd knowe that the waters were abated vpon the earth. And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.
12 And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and sent foorth the Doue, whiche returned not vnto him any more. Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore. He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 And it came to passe, in the sixe hundreth and one yere, in ye first moneth, the first day of the moneth, the waters were dryed vp from the earth, and Noah remoued the coueryng of the arke, and looked, and beholde, the vpper face of the grounde was dryed vp. In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry. By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
14 And in the seconde moneth, in the seuen and twentie day of the moneth was the earth dryed. In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
15 And God spake vnto Noah, saying: Then God said to Noah, Then God said to Noah,
16 Go foorth of the arke, thou, and thy wife, thy sonnes, and thy sonnes wiues with thee. “Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.
17 And bryng foorth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all fleshe, both foule and cattell, and euery worme that crepeth vpon the earth, that they may breede in the earth, and bring foorth fruite, and multiplie vpon earth. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”
18 And so Noah came foorth, and his sonnes, his wyfe, and his sonnes wiues with hym: So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.
19 Euery beast also, and euery worme, euery foule, and whatsoeuer crepeth vpon the earth after their kyndes, went out of the arke. Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark. All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 And Noah builded an aulter vnto ye Lorde, and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, & offred burnt offering on the aulter Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
21 And the Lorde smelled a sweete or quiet sauour, and the Lord sayde in his heart: I wyll not hencefoorth curse the grounde any more for mans sake, for the imagination of mans heart is euyll euen from his youth: neyther wyll I smyte any more euery thyng lyuyng, as I haue done. And when the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, the LORD said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 Yet therefore shall not sowyng tyme and haruest, colde and heate, sommer and wynter, day and nyght, ceasse all the dayes of the earth. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
