8 Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground, 9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the vessel; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the vessel. 10 And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the vessel. 11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, look, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had abated from the earth. 12 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more. Genesis 8:8-12, New Heart English Bible.
