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.
15. And Elohim spoke to Noaḥ, saying,
16. “Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.
17. “Bring out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with you: of birds, of cattle and all creeping creatures that creep on the earth. And let them teem on the earth, and bear and increase on the earth.”
