1 A nd God remembered Noah and every living thing and all the animals that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind blow over the land, and the waters sank down and abated.

And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

2 A lso the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the gushing rain from the sky was checked,

and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.

3 A nd the waters receded from the land continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had diminished.

And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

4 O n the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;

5 A nd the waters continued to diminish until the tenth month; on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the high hills were seen.

and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth, on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.

6 A t the end of forty days Noah opened a window of the ark which he had made

And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,

7 A nd sent forth a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters were dried up from the land.

and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.

8 T hen he sent forth a dove to see if the waters had decreased from the surface of the ground.

And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,

9 B ut the dove found no resting-place on which to roost, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole land. So he put forth his hand and drew her to him into the ark.

and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.

10 H e waited another seven days and again sent forth the dove out of the ark.

And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;

11 A nd the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a newly sprouted and freshly plucked olive leaf! So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the land.

and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.

12 T hen he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, but she did not return to him any more.

And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.

13 I n the year 601, on the first day of the first month, the waters were drying up from the land. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was drying.

And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first, in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.

14 A nd on the twenty-seventh day of the second month the land was entirely dry.

And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.

15 A nd God spoke to Noah, saying,

And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, `Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;

16 G o forth from the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives with you.

every living thing that with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;

17 B ring forth every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and beasts and every creeping thing that creeps on the ground—that they may breed abundantly on the land and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.

and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'

18 A nd Noah went forth, and his wife and his sons and their wives with him.

And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;

19 E very beast, every creeping thing, every bird—and whatever moves on the land—went forth by families out of the ark.

every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.

20 A nd Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of every clean animal and of every clean fowl or bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

21 W hen the Lord smelled the pleasing odor, the Lord said to Himself, I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination (the strong desire) of man’s heart is evil and wicked from his youth; neither will I ever again smite and destroy every living thing, as I have done.

and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, `I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;

22 W hile the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
