( P) 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you-the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground-so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.” ( Q)ġ8 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month ( O) the earth was completely dry.ġ5 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. ( M) 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.ġ3 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, ( N) the water had dried up from the earth. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth so it returned to Noah in the ark. ( K) 8 Then he sent out a dove ( L) to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. ( H) 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.Ħ After forty days ( I) Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, ( J) and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days ( E) the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month ( F) the ark came to rest on the mountains ( G) of Ararat.

3 The water receded steadily from the earth.

2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens ( C) had been closed, and the rain ( D) had stopped falling from the sky. 8 But God remembered ( A) Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, ( B) and the waters receded.
