1 And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters ceased:
2 the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 and the waters turned back from the face of the earth; and after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day, the ark came to rest upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased steadily until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;
7 and he sent forth a raven; it would fly to and fro around the ark, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8 And he sent forth a dove, to see if the waters were dried up from the face of the ground;
9 but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark; for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.
10 And having waited another[a] seven days, he once again sent the dove out of the ark;
11 And she came to him in the evening, carrying the sprig of an olive branch, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noah therefore understood that the waters had subsided from the earth.
12 And he stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she did not return to him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the waters began to dry from the earth; and when Noah removed the covering of the ark, he saw that the surface of the ground was drying.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 And God spoke unto Noah, saying,
16 “Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your son's wives with you.”
17 “Bring with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, birds and livestock, and every creeping thing that moves upon the earth; so they may populate the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.”
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives went with him:
19 every beast, and every creeping thing, every bird, and whatsoever moves upon the earth, after their families, all went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the LORD smelled the sweet savor; and the LORD said in his heart, 'I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again destroy all living creatures, as I have done.'
22 'Hereafter, seed time and harvest, cold and heat, Summer and Winter, day and night shall not cease, so long as the earth remains.'
[10] 'another' implying he had watched and waited for the raven for seven days as well.
[17] 'both' may be problematic in English.
