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.
12. And he stayed yet other seven days and sent forth the dove, which returned not again unto him any more.
13. And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year of Noah, 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.
14. And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
15. And God spoke unto Noah, saying,
16. Go forth from the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
17. Bring forth with thee every animal that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl and of beasts and of every creeping thing that moves upon the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18. And Noah went forth and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him;
19. all the animals, every creature and every fowl and whatever moves upon the earth after their kinds went forth out of the ark.
20. And Noah built an altar unto the Lord and took of every clean animal and of every clean fowl and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
