1.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;
2.The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
4.And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
6.And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
8.Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
10.And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11.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.
12.And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13.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.
14.And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15.And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16.Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17.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.
18.And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
20.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.
