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 returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

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 rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto 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 stayed 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.

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

13 A nd 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.

Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

16 G o forth 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 living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both 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.

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 forth, 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.

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 the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again 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.

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 W hile the earth remaineth, seedtime 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.”
