1 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; 2 The foun­tains also of the deep and the win­dows of heav­en were stopped, and the rain from heav­en was re­strained; 3 And the wa­ters re­turned from off the earth con­tin­u­al­ly: 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, were the tops of the moun­tains 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 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. 10 And he stayed yet oth­er 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, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt 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, 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 sev­en and twen­ti­eth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15 And God spake unto Noah, say­ing, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 17 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. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him: 19 Ev­ery beast, ev­ery creep­ing thing, and ev­ery fowl, and what­so­ev­er creep­eth upon the earth, af­ter their kinds, went forth out of the ark. 20 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. 21 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. 22 While the earth re­maineth, seed­time and har­vest, and cold and heat, and sum­mer and win­ter, and day and night shall not cease.
