21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; 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 living animal as I have done.

888. Verse 12 And he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, and it did not come back to him any more.

'He waited yet another seven days' means the beginning of the third state, 'seven days' meaning that which is holy. 'And he sent out the dove' means a state of receiving the goods and truths of faith. 'The dove did not come back to him any more' means a state of freedom.
