1 And God will remember Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that with him in the ark: and God will make a wind to pass over the earth and the waters will settle down. 2 And the fountains of the deep, and the sluices of the heavens shall be shut up, and the rains from the heavens shall be withheld. 3 And the waters shall turn back from over the earth, going and turning back, and the waters shall fail from the end of fifty and one hundred days. 4 And the ark shall rest in the seventh month in the seventeenth day of the month upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters were going and diminishing until the tenth month: in the tenth, in the one of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen. 6 And it shall be from the end of forty days Noah shall open the window of the ark which he made. 7 And he shall send forth the raven, and it shall go forth, going and turning back, till the waters dry up from over the earth. 8 And he shall send forth the dove from with him to see if the waters were diminished from the face of the earth. 9 And the dove found not rest to the hollow of her foot, and she will turn back to him to the ark, for the waters are over the face of all the earth; and he will send forth his hand and will take her and will cause her to come to him to the ark. 10 And he will wait yet again other seven days, and he will add to send forth the dove from the ark. 11 And the dove will come in to him at the time of evening, and lo, an olive leaf plucked off, in her mouth. And Noah will know that the waters were diminished from over the earth. 12 And he will wait yet again, other seven days, and will send forth the dove; and she will not add to turn back to him yet again.
