Chapter 8 of Genesis

Genesis

01:008:001 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;

01:008:002 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were
stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

01:008:003 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and
after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were
abated.

01:008:004 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth
day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

01:008:005 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.

01:008:006 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened
the window of the ark which he had made:

01:008:007 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until
the waters were dried up from off the earth.

01:008:008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were
abated from off the face of the ground;

01:008:009 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.

01:008:010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
the dove out of the ark;

01:008:011 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.

01:008:012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove;
which returned not again unto him any more.

01:008:013 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.

01:008:014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the
month, was the earth dried.

01:008:015 And God spake unto Noah, saying,

01:008:016 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy
sons' wives with thee.

01:008:017 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.

01:008:018 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
wives with him:

01:008:019 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and
whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went
forth out of the ark.

01:008:020 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.

01:008:021 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.

01:008:022 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and
heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not
cease.
