1. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters ceased;
2. the fountains also of the deep and the windows of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3. and the waters turned back and forth upon the earth, and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4. And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5. 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.
6. And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,
7. and he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8. Also he sent forth a dove from him to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground,
9. but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were still upon the face of the whole earth. Then he put forth his hand and took her and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10. And he waited yet another 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, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off, so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
