8Genesis 8

1And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which are with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,Select Genesis 8:1

2and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.Select Genesis 8:2

3And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.Select Genesis 8:3

4And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;Select Genesis 8:4

5and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth month , on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.Select Genesis 8:5

6And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,Select Genesis 8:6

7and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.Select Genesis 8:7

8And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,Select Genesis 8:8

9and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters are on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.Select Genesis 8:9

10And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;Select Genesis 8:10

11and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.Select Genesis 8:11

12And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.Select Genesis 8:12

13And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month , in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.Select Genesis 8:13

14And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.Select Genesis 8:14

15And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, `Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;Select Genesis 8:15

16every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;Select Genesis 8:16

17and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'Select Genesis 8:17

18And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;Select Genesis 8:18

19every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.Select Genesis 8:19

20And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;Select Genesis 8:20

21and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, `I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man is evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;Select Genesis 8:21

22during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'Select Genesis 8:22
