And God remembered Noah, and all that lived, and all the cattle that [were] with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
And closed were [the] deep’s fountains and heaven’s windows, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
And the waters returned from off the earth continually ; and the waters were abated at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on [the] seventeenth day of [the] month, on Ararat’s mountains.
And the waters were abating continually until the tenth month: in the tenth, on the first of the month, were the mountain tops seen.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
And he sent forth the raven; and it went forth, going to and fro until the drying of the waters from off the earth.
And he sent forth the dove from him, to see if the waters were abated [become light] from off the face of the ground;
but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of all the earth. And he put forth his hand and took her and brought her in to him into the ark.
And he stayed yet other seven days, and again he sent the dove out of the ark;
and the dove came to him at eventide, and behold the leaf of olive fresh plucked [was] in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove, which returned not again to him more.
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, 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 dried.
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, was the earth dry.
And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Go forth out of the ark, thou and thy wife, and thy sons and thy sons’ wives with thee:
all the animals that are with thee of all flesh, among bird and among cattle and among every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee, that they may swarm on the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.
And Noah went forth and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives, with him:
all the animals, all the creeping things, and all the birds—everything that moveth upon the earth after their families, went forth out of the ark.
And Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and took of every clean beast and of every clean bird, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
And Jehovah smelled the odour of rest. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will not any more again curse the ground on account of man, for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will not any more again smite every living thing as I have done.
Henceforth all the days of the earth, seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
