      | ¶ | And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; | |
| The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; | ||
| And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. | ||
| And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. | ||
| And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. | ||
| ¶ | And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: | |
| And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. | ||
| Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; | ||
| But 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. | ||
 | And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; | ||
| And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth [was] an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. | ||
| And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. | ||
| ¶ | And 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. | |
| And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. | ||
| ¶ | And God spake unto Noah, saying, | |
| Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. | ||
| Bring 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. | ||
 | And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: | ||
| Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. | ||
| ¶ | And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. | |
| And 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. | ||
| While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. |
