And God remembered
Noah
, and every living thing
, and all the cattle
that was with him in the ark
: and God
made
a wind
to pass
over
the earth
, and the waters
asswaged
;
The fountains also of the deep
and the windows
of heaven
were stopped
, and the rain
from heaven
was restrained
;
And the waters returned
from off the earth
continually
: and after the end
of the hundred
and fifty
days
the waters
were abated
.
And the ark rested
in the seventh
month
, on the seventeenth
day
of the month
, upon the mountains
of Ararat
.
And the waters decreased
continually
until
the tenth
month
: in the tenth
month , on the first
day of the month
, were the tops
of the mountains
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 a raven
, which went forth
to
and fro
, until the waters
were dried up
from off the earth
.
Also he sent forth a dove
from him, to see
if the waters
were abated
from off the face
of the ground
;
But the dove found
no rest
for the sole
of her foot
, and she returned
unto him into the ark
, for the waters
were on the face
of the whole earth
: then he put forth
his hand
, and took her
, and pulled her in
unto him into the ark
.
And he stayed yet other
seven
days
; and again
he sent forth
the dove
out of the ark
;
And the dove came in
to him in the evening
; and, lo, in her mouth
was an olive
leaf
pluckt off
: so 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
unto him any more
.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth
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 dry
.
And in the second month
, on the seven
and twentieth
day
of the month
, was the earth
dried
.
And God spake
unto Noah
, saying
,
Go forth of the ark
, thou, and thy wife
, and thy sons
, and thy sons
' wives
with thee.
Bring forth with thee every living thing
that is with thee, of all flesh
, both of fowl
, and of cattle
, and of every creeping thing
that creepeth
upon the earth
; that they may breed abundantly
in 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:
Every beast, every creeping thing
, and every fowl
, and whatsoever
creepeth
upon the earth
, after their kinds
, went forth
out of the ark
.
And Noah builded
an altar
unto the LORD
; and took
of every clean
beast
, and of every clean
fowl
, and offered
burnt offerings
on the altar
.
And the LORD smelled
a sweet
savour
; and the LORD
said
in
his heart
, I will not again
curse
the ground
any more for man's
sake
; for the imagination
of man's
heart
is evil
from his youth
; neither will I again
smite
any more every thing living
, as I have done
.
While the earth remaineth
, seedtime
and harvest
, and cold
and heat
, and summer
and winter
, and day
and night
shall not cease
.
