Genesis 8:1-12 ▼

1 And god remebred Noe and all ye beastes and all ye catell yt were with hi in ye arke And god made a wynde to blow vppo ye erth and ye waters ceased:

2 ad ye fountaynes of the depe ad the wyndowes of heave were stopte and the rayne of heaven was forbidde

3 and the waters returned from of ye erth ad abated after the ende of an hundred and .l. dayes.

4 And the arke rested vppo the mountayns of Ararat the .xvij. daye of the .vij. moneth.

5 And the waters went away ad decreased vntyll the x. moneth. And the fyrst daye of the tenth moneth the toppes of the mounteyns appered.

6 And after the ende of .xl. dayes. Noe opened the wyndow of the arke which he had made

7 ad sent forth a raven which went out ever goinge and cominge agayne vntyll the waters were dreyed vpp vppon the erth

8 Then sent he forth a doue from hym to wete whether the waters were fallen from of the erth.

9 And when the doue coude fynde no restinge place for hyr fote she returned to him agayne vnto the arke fo r the waters were vppon the face of all the erth. And he put out hys honde and toke her and pulled hyr to hym in to the arke

10 And he abode yet .vij. dayes mo and sent out the doue agayne out of the arke

11 And the doue came to hym agayne aboute eventyde and beholde: There was in hyr mouth a lefe of an olyve tre which she had plucked wherby Noe perceaved that the waters wer abated vppon the erth.

12 And he taried yet .vij. other dayes and sent forth the doue which from thence forth came no more agayne to him.
