The Flood Recedes
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.
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 Flood Subsides
But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided.
The underground waters stopped flowing, and the torrential rains from the sky were stopped.
The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,
So the floodwaters gradually receded from the earth. After 150 days,
and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated,
and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
After another forty days, Noah opened the window he had made in the boat
At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made
and released a raven. The bird flew back and forth until the floodwaters on the earth had dried up.
and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.
He also released a dove to see if the water had receded and it could find dry ground.
Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground.
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.
But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.
After waiting another seven days, Noah released the dove again.
He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
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.
And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.
He waited another seven days and then released the dove again. This time it did not come back.
Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore.
In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out.
“Leave the boat, all of you — you and your wife, and your sons and their wives.
“Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
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.”
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh — birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth — that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
So Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives left the boat.
So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.
And all of the large and small animals and birds came out of the boat, pair by pair.
Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
God’s Covenant with Noah
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some 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.
