1. And Elohim remembered Noaḥ, and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And Elohim made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2. And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from the heavens was withheld.
3. And the waters receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters diminished.
4. And in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat.
5. And the waters decreased steadily until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
6. And it came to be, at the end of forty days, that Noaḥ opened the window of the ark which he had made,
7. and he sent out a raven, which kept going out and turning back until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8. Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
9. But the dove found no resting place for its feet and returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of all the earth. So he put out his hand and took it, and pulled it into the ark to himself.
10. And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.
11. And the dove came to him in the evening, and see, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in its mouth. And Noaḥ knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
12. And he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return to him again.
13. And it came to be 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 Noaḥ removed the covering of the ark and looked, and saw the surface of the ground was dry.
14. And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
