1	וַיִּזְכֹּ֤ר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־ נֹ֔חַ וְאֵ֤ת כָּל־ הַֽחַיָּה֙ וְאֶת־ כָּל־ הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתּ֖וֹ בַּתֵּבָ֑ה וַיַּעֲבֵ֨ר אֱלֹהִ֥ים ר֙וּחַ֙ עַל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ וַיָּשֹׁ֖כּוּ הַמָּֽיִם׃	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	וַיִּסָּֽכְרוּ֙ מַעְיְנֹ֣ת תְּה֔וֹם וַֽאֲרֻבֹּ֖ת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וַיִּכָּלֵ֥א הַגֶּ֖שֶׁם מִן־ הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃	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	וַיָּשֻׁ֧בוּ הַמַּ֛יִם מֵעַ֥ל הָאָ֖רֶץ הָל֣וֹךְ וָשׁ֑וֹב וַיַּחְסְר֣וּ הַמַּ֔יִם מִקְצֵ֕ה חֲמִשִּׁ֥ים וּמְאַ֖ת יֽוֹם׃	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,
4	וַתָּ֤נַח הַתֵּבָה֙ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י בְּשִׁבְעָה־ עָשָׂ֥ר י֖וֹם לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ עַ֖ל הָרֵ֥י אֲרָרָֽט׃	and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.	and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5	וְהַמַּ֗יִם הָיוּ֙ הָל֣וֹךְ וְחָס֔וֹר עַ֖ד הַחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָֽעֲשִׂירִ֑י בָּֽעֲשִׂירִי֙ בְּאֶחָ֣ד לַחֹ֔דֶשׁ נִרְא֖וּ רָאשֵׁ֥י הֶֽהָרִֽים׃	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	וַֽיְהִ֕י מִקֵּ֖ץ אַרְבָּעִ֣ים י֑וֹם וַיִּפְתַּ֣ח נֹ֔חַ אֶת־ חַלּ֥וֹן הַתֵּבָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָֽׂה׃	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	וַיְשַׁלַּ֖ח אֶת־ הָֽעֹרֵ֑ב וַיֵּצֵ֤א יָצוֹא֙ וָשׁ֔וֹב עַד־ יְבֹ֥שֶׁת הַמַּ֖יִם מֵעַ֥ל הָאָֽרֶץ׃	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	וַיְשַׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־ הַיּוֹנָ֖ה מֵאִתּ֑וֹ לִרְאוֹת֙ הֲקַ֣לּוּ הַמַּ֔יִם מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֥י הָֽאֲדָמָֽה׃	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	וְלֹֽא־ מָצְאָה֩ הַיּוֹנָ֨ה מָנ֜וֹחַ לְכַף־ רַגְלָ֗הּ וַתָּ֤שָׁב אֵלָיו֙ אֶל־ הַתֵּבָ֔ה כִּי־ מַ֖יִם עַל־ פְּנֵ֣י כָל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָדוֹ֙ וַיִּקָּחֶ֔הָ וַיָּבֵ֥א אֹתָ֛הּ אֵלָ֖יו אֶל־ הַתֵּבָֽה׃	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.
