1
And Elohim remembered Noach, and every living creature, and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And Elohim caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2
And the fountains of the deep and the openings of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.
3
And the waters returned from upon the earth, going and returning; and after one hundred and fifty days the waters diminished.
4
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.
5
And the waters continued diminishing until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6
And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noach opened the opening of the ark that he had made.
7
And he sent out the raven, and it went forth, going out and returning, until the waters had dried from upon the earth.
8
And he sent out the dove from with him, to see whether the waters had become light upon the face of the ground.
9
But the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, and it returned to him into the ark, because waters were still upon the face of all the earth. And he stretched out his hand and took it, and brought it to himself into the ark.
10
And he waited yet another seven days, and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11
And the dove came to him toward evening, and see: a freshly plucked olive leaf was in its mouth. And Noach knew that the waters had become light upon the earth.
12
And he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, and it did not return to him again.
13
And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, that the waters had dried from upon the earth. And Noach removed the covering of the ark and looked, and see: the face of the ground had dried.
14
And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15
And Elohim spoke to Noach, saying,
16
“Go out from the ark—you, your ishah, your sons, and the women of your sons with you.
17
Bring out with you every living creature that is with you from all flesh: the flying creatures, the livestock, and every moving creature that moves upon the earth. And let them spread throughout the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.”
18
And Noach went out, and his sons, and his ishah, and the women of his sons with him.
19
Every living creature, every moving creature, every flying creature, and everything moving upon the earth, according to their families, went out from the ark.
20
And Noach built an altar to Yahuah, and took from every clean beast and from every clean flying creature, and offered ascending offerings upon the altar.
21
And Yahuah received the pleasing fragrance. And Yahuah said within His heart, “I will not again curse the ground because of Adam, though the formation of the heart of Adam is evil from his youth. And I will not again strike every living thing as I have done.
22
While all the days of the earth remain: seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”
