But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.
The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
The underground waters stopped flowing, and the torrential rains from the sky were stopped.
And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
So the floodwaters gradually receded from the earth. After 150 days,
Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
And 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.
So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth.
and released a raven. The bird flew back and forth until the floodwaters on the earth had dried up.
He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
He also released a dove to see if the water had receded and it could find dry ground.
But 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.
But the dove could find no place to land because the water still covered the ground. So it returned to the boat, and Noah held out his hand and drew the dove back inside.
And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.
After waiting another seven days, Noah released the dove again.
Then 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.
This time the dove returned to him in the evening with a fresh olive leaf in its beak. Then Noah knew that the floodwaters were almost gone.
So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.
He waited another seven days and then released the dove again. This time it did not come back.
And 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 in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
“Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
“Leave the boat, all of you — you and your wife, and your sons and their wives.
Bring 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.”
Release all the animals — the birds, the livestock, and the small animals that scurry along the ground — so they can be fruitful and multiply throughout the earth.”
So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.
So Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives left the boat.
Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
And all of the large and small animals and birds came out of the boat, pair by pair.
God’s Covenant with Creation
Then 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.
Then 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 the LORD was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.
