¹ And God remembered Noaḥ, and every wild·​·animal, and every beast that was with^◦ him in the ark^◦; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

² And the fountains of the abyss, and the floodgates of the heavens were shut·​·up, and the shower from the heavens was held·​·back.

³ And the waters returned from on the earth, going^◦ and returning; and from the end of fifty and a hundred days the waters decreased.

⁴ And the ark^◦ rested^* in the seventh month, on^◦ the seventeenth day of^◦ the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

⁵ And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on^◦ the first^◦ day of^◦ the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.

⁶ And it was, at the end of forty days, that Noaḥ opened the window of the ark^◦ which he had made;

⁷ and he sent·​·out a raven, and it went·​·out, going·​·out and returning, until the waters were dried·​·up from on the earth.

⁸ And he sent·​·out the dove from^◦ him, to see if the waters were diminished^* from upon the faces of the ground.

⁹ And the dove found not rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to^▵ him to^▵ the ark^◦, for the waters were on the faces of all the land; and he put·​·forth^◦ his hand and took her, and brought· her ·in to^▵ him into^▵ the ark^◦.

¹⁰ And he waited^▵* still another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark^◦;

¹¹ and the dove came to^▵ him at^◦ evening time; and behold in her mouth was an olive leaf torn·​·off; and Noaḥ knew that the waters were diminished from on the earth.

¹² And he waited·​·with·​·hope yet another seven days, and sent the dove, and she returned not again to to^▵ him any·​·more.

¹³ And it was, in the six hundred and first^◦ year, in the beginning^◦, on^◦ the first^◦ of^◦ the month, that the waters were dried·​·up^◦ from on the earth; and Noaḥ removed the covering of the ark^◦, and saw, and behold, the faces of the ground were·​·dry^◦.

¹⁴ In the second month, on^◦ the seven and twentieth day of^◦ the month, was the earth dried·​·up.

¹⁵ And God spoke to^▵ Noaḥ, saying,

¹⁶ Go·​·out from the ark^◦, thou^◦ and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with^◦ thee.

¹⁷ Every wild·​·animal that is with^◦ thee of all flesh, as·​·to fowl, and as·​·to beast, and as·​·to every creeping thing that creeps on the land, bring·​·out with^◦ thee; and they will crawl forth into the land, and be·​·fruitful, and multiply on the land.

¹⁸ And Noaḥ went·​·out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with^◦ him.

¹⁹ Every wild·​·animal, every creeping thing, and every fowl, all that creeps upon the earth, according·​·to their families, went·​·out from the ark^◦.

²⁰ And Noaḥ built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered·​·up burnt·​·offerings on^◦ the altar.

²¹ And Jehovah smelled a restful smell; and Jehovah said in His heart, I will not again curse^◦ the ground any·​·more on^◦ account of man; for what the heart of man forms is evil from his youth; and I will not add to smite any·​·more all that is living, as^◦ I have done.

²² As·​·long·​·as all the days of the earth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
