| [1]And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; |
[No book] |
| [2]The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; |
[No book] |
| [3]And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. |
[No book] |
| [4]And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Hararat. |
[No book] |
| [5]And the waters decreased continually until tenth month: in the tenth, on the first of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. |
[No book] |
| [6]And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: |
[No book] |
| [7]And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. |
[No book] |
| [8]Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; |
[No book] |
| [9]But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth with his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. |
[No book] |
| [10]And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; |
[No book] |
| [11]And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. |
[No book] |
| [12]And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. |
[No book] |
| [13]And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], the first [day] of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. |
[No book] |
| [14]And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. |
[No book] |
| [15]And God spake unto Noah, saying |
[No book] |
| [16]Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. |
[No book] |
| [17]And every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. |
[No book] |
| [18]And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: |
[No book] |
| [19]And every beast, and every fowl, every all creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. |
[No book] |
| [20]And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. |
[No book] |
| [21]And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again moreover curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. |

| [22]While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease. |
