The Water Dries Up
8 Then (A)God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and (B)God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided. 2 Also (C)the fountains of the deep and the [a]floodgates of the sky were closed, and (D)the rain from the sky was restrained; 3 and the water receded from the earth, going forth and returning, and at the end (E)of 150 days the water decreased. 4 In the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, (F)the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 Now the water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 Then it happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the (G)window of the ark which he had made; 7 and he sent out a raven, and it went out flying back and forth until the water was dried up [b]from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land; 9 but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the [c]surface of all the earth. Then he stretched out his hand and took it and brought it into the ark to himself. 10 Then he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark. 11 And the dove came to him toward [d]evening, and behold, in its [e]beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth. 12 Then he waited yet another seven days and sent out (H)the dove; but it did not return to him again.
13 Now it happened in the (I)six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up [f]from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the [g]surface of the ground was dried up. 14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Go out of the ark, 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 animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may (J)swarm on the earth, and that they may 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 beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out [h]by their families from the ark.
Yahweh’s Covenant with Noah
20 Then Noah built (K)an altar to Yahweh and took of every (L)clean animal and of every clean bird and offered (M)burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And Yahweh (N)smelled the [i]soothing aroma; and Yahweh said [j]to Himself, “I will never again (O)curse the ground because of man, for (P)the [k]intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; (Q)and I will never again strike down every living thing as I have done.
22 While all the days of the earth remain,
Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat,
And (R)summer and winter,
And (S)day and night
Shall not cease.”

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.

8 Pero Dios se acordó de Noé, y de todos los animales y bestias que estaban en el arca con él. Entonces Dios hizo pasar sobre la tierra un viento, y las aguas disminuyeron. 2 Se cerraron las fuentes del abismo y las cataratas de los cielos, y se detuvo la lluvia de los cielos. 3 Las aguas sobre la tierra fueron decreciendo gradualmente, y al cabo de ciento cincuenta días se retiraron, 4 y a los diecisiete días del mes séptimo el arca se posó sobre los montes de Ararat. 5 Las aguas siguieron bajando hasta el mes décimo, y el día primero del mes décimo quedaron al descubierto las cimas de los montes.
6 Al cabo de cuarenta días Noé abrió la ventana del arca que había hecho, 7 y envió un cuervo, el cual salió y estuvo yendo y viniendo, hasta que las aguas sobre la tierra se fueron secando. 8 También dejó salir una paloma, para ver si las aguas se habían retirado de la faz de la tierra, 9 pero al no hallar la paloma donde asentarse, volvió al arca, donde estaba él, porque las aguas aún cubrían la faz de toda la tierra. Entonces Noé extendió la mano y, tomándola, la hizo entrar consigo en el arca. 10 Esperó aún otros siete días, y volvió a enviar a la paloma fuera del arca, 11 y al atardecer la paloma volvió a donde él estaba, pero ya traía en el pico una hoja de olivo. Así entendió Noé que las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la tierra. 12 Todavía esperó siete días más, y volvió a enviar a la paloma, pero ésta ya no volvió a donde él estaba.
13 El día primero del mes primero del año seiscientos uno de Noé, se secaron las aguas sobre la tierra. Entonces Noé quitó la cubierta del arca, y miró, y resultó que la superficie de la tierra se estaba secando, 14 y a los veintisiete días del mes segundo la tierra ya estaba seca.
15 Entonces Dios habló con Noé, y le dijo:
16 «Sal del arca, tú y tu mujer, y tus hijos, y las mujeres de tus hijos, que están contigo. 17 Saca a todos los animales que están contigo; a todo ser vivo: aves y bestias, y todo reptil que se arrastra sobre la tierra, y pueblen la tierra. ¡Reprodúzcanse y multiplíquense sobre la tierra!»
18 Salió entonces Noé con sus hijos, su mujer, y las mujeres de sus hijos. 19 También salieron del arca todos los animales, y todo reptil y toda ave, y todo lo que se mueve sobre la tierra, según sus especies.
20 Noé edificó un altar al Señor y, tomando de todo animal limpio y de toda ave limpia, ofreció en el altar un holocausto. 21 Al percibir el Señor ese grato olor, dijo en su corazón:
«No volveré a maldecir la tierra por causa del hombre, porque desde su juventud las intenciones del corazón del hombre son malas. Y tampoco volveré a destruir a todo ser vivo, como lo he hecho. 22 Mientras la tierra permanezca, no faltarán la sementera y la siega, ni el frío y el calor, ni el verano y el invierno, ni el día y la noche.»

8 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 assuaged;
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.
