But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

2 A nd the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.

Also the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained;

3 A nd the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.

and the water receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of one hundred and fifty days the water decreased.

4 A nd the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.

7 A nd he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.

and he sent out a raven, and it flew here and there until the water was dried up from the earth.

8 A nd he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.

Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land;

9 B ut the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.

but the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and brought her into the ark to himself.

10 A nd he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

So he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark.

11 A nd the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.

The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth.

12 A nd he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.

Then he waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; but she did not return to him again.

15 A nd God spoke to Noah, saying,

Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

16 G o out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

“Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.

17 B ring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.

Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

18 A nd Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.

19 A ll the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl—everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.

Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by their families from the ark.

20 A nd Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 A nd Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.

The Lord smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.

22 H enceforth, all the days of the earth, seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease.”
