¹ And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that [were] with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters ceased;

² the fountains also of the deep and the windows of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

³ and the waters turned back and forth upon the earth, and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

⁴ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

⁵ And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

⁶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,

⁷ and he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

⁸ Also he sent forth a dove from him to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground,

⁹ but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were still] upon the face of the whole earth. Then he put forth his hand and took her and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

¹⁰ And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark,

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.

²¹ And the LORD smelled a savour of rest, and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for the intent of man's heart [is] evil from his childhood; neither will I again smite any more every living thing as I have done.

²² While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.:
