Genesis 8:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ It returned to him toward the evening. In its beak it had a sprig from an olive tree. Noah understood that the waters had receded from the earth. ¹² He waited another seven days and then released the dove. It did not return to him.

¹³ In the six hundred and first year of Noah’s life, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters dried up upon the earth. Noah removed the covering from the ark and, behold, the surface of the earth was dry.
