Genesis 8
Complete Jewish Bible
8 God remembered Noach, every living thing and all the livestock with him in the ark; so God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water began to go down. 2 Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of the sky were stopped, the rain from the sky was restrained, 3 and the water came back from completely covering the earth. It was after 150 days that the water went down. 4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5 The water kept going down until the tenth month; on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 After forty days Noach opened the window of the ark which he had built; 7 and he sent out a raven, which flew back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove, to see if the water had gone from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove found no place for her feet to rest, so she returned to him in the ark, because the water still covered the whole earth. He put out his hand, took her and brought her in to him in the ark. 10 He waited another seven days and again sent the dove out from the ark. 11 The dove came in to him in the evening, and there in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf, so Noach knew that the water had cleared from the earth. 12 He waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 By the first day of the first month of the 601st year the water had dried up from off the earth; so Noach removed the covering of the ark and looked; and, yes, the surface of the ground was dry. 14 It was on the twenty-seventh day of the second month that the earth was dry.
(iv) 15 God said to Noach, 16 “Go out from the ark, you, your wife, your sons and your son’s wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing you have with you — birds, livestock and every animal that creeps on the earth — so that they can swarm on the earth, be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 So Noach went out with his sons, his wife and his sons’ wives; 19 every animal, every creeping thing and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
20 Noach built an altar to Adonai. Then he took from every clean animal and every clean bird, and he offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 Adonai smelled the sweet aroma, and Adonai said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, since the imaginings of a person’s heart are evil from his youth; nor will I ever again destroy all living things, as I have done. 22 So long as the earth exists, sowing time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

Noah’s Deliverance
8 Then God (A)remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. (B)And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 (C)The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also (D)stopped, and (E)the rain from heaven was restrained. 3 And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end (F)of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased. 4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on 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 So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened (G)the window of the ark which he had made. 7 Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. 8 He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground. 9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself. 10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark. 11 Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. 12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. 14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Go out of the ark, (H)you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and (I)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. 19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
God’s Covenant with Creation
20 Then Noah built an (J)altar to the Lord, and took of (K)every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered (L)burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled (M)a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again (N)curse the ground for man’s sake, although the (O)imagination[a] of man’s heart is evil from his youth; (P)nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
22 “While the earth (Q)remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And (R)day and night
Shall not cease.”

8 Megemlékezék pedig az Isten Noéról, és minden vadról, minden baromról, mely õ vele a bárkában vala: és szelet bocsáta az Isten a földre, és a vizek megapadának.
2 És bezárulának a mélység forrásai s az ég csatornái; és megszûnt az esõ az égbõl.
3 És elmenének a vizek a földrõl folyton fogyván, és száz ötven nap mulva megfogyatkozának a vizek.
4 A bárka pedig a hetedik hónapban, a hónak tizenhetedik napján, megfeneklett az Ararát hegyén.
5 A vizek pedig folyton fogyának a tizedik hónapig; a tizedikben, a hó elsõ napján meglátszának a hegyek csúcsai.
6 És lõn negyven nap múlva, kinyitá Noé a bárka ablakát, melyet csinált vala.
7 És kibocsátá a hollót, és az elrepûlt, meg visszaszállt, míg a vizek a földrõl felszáradának.
8 Kibocsátá a galambot is, hogy meglássa, vajjon elfogytak-é a vizek a föld színérõl.
9 De a galamb nem talála lábainak nyugvóhelyet és visszatére õ hozzá a bárkába, mert víz vala az egész föld színén; õ pedig kezét kinyujtá, megfogá, és bévevé azt magához a bárkába.
10 És várakozék még másik hét napig, és ismét kibocsátá a galambot a bárkából.
11 És megjöve õ hozzá a galamb estennen, és ímé leszakasztott olajfalevél vala annak szájában. És megtudá Noé, hogy elapadt a víz a földrõl.
12 És ismét várakozék még másik hét napig, és kibocsátá a galambot, és az nem tére többé õ hozzá vissza.
13 És lõn a hatszáz egyedik esztendõben, az elsõ hónak elsõ napján, felszáradának a vizek a földrõl, és elfordítá Noé a bárka fedelét, és látá, hogy ímé megszikkadt a földnek színe.
14 A második hónapban pedig, a hónak huszonhetedik napján megszárada a föld.
15 És szóla az Isten Noénak, mondván:
16 Menj ki a bárkából te és a te feleséged, a te fiaid, és a te fiaid feleségei te veled.
17 Minden vadat, mely veled van, minden testbõl, madarat, barmot, és minden földön csúszó-mászó állatot vígy ki magaddal, hogy nyüzsögjenek a földön, szaporodjanak és sokasodjanak a földön.
18 Kiméne azért Noé és az õ fiai, az õ felesége, és az õ fiainak feleségei õ vele.
19 Minden állat, minden csúszó-mászó, minden madár, minden a mi mozog a földön, kijöve a bárkából az õ neme szerint.
20 És oltárt építe Noé az Úrnak, és võn minden tiszta állatból és minden tiszta madárból, és áldozék égõáldozattal az oltáron.
21 És megérezé az Úr a kedves illatot, és monda az Úr az õ szívében: Nem átkozom meg többé a földet az emberért, mert az ember szívének gondolatja gonosz az õ ifjúságától fogva; és többé nem vesztem el mind az élõ állatot, mint cselekedtem.
22 Ennekutánna míg a föld lészen, vetés és aratás, hideg és meleg, nyár és tél, nap és éjszaka meg nem szünnek.
Genesis 8
New International Version
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. 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. 3 The water receded steadily 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.(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.
6 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.(K) 8 Then he sent out a dove(L) to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 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. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 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.(M) 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.
13 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. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month(O) the earth was completely dry.
15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.(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)
18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.(R) 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord(S) and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean(T) birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings(U) on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma(V) and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground(W) because of humans, even though[a] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.(X) And never again will I destroy(Y) all living creatures,(Z) as I have done.
