1 T hen God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

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 T he fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.

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 continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.

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 T hen the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, 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 decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains 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 S o it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the 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 T hen he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.

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 H e also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face 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 for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

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 A nd he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.

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

11 T hen the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

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 S o he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

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

13 A nd it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.

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 in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.

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

15 T hen 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 “ Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ 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 out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

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

18 S o Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.

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

19 E very animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark. God’s Covenant with Creation

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

20 T hen 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.

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 A nd the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again 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 “ While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, 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.'
