6 Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made; 7 and he sent out a raven, and it *8:7 Lit went out, going and returningflew here and there until the water was dried up *8:7 Lit from uponfrom the earth. 8 Then he sent out a *8:8 Lit dove from himdove, to see if the water was low on the *8:8 Lit facesurface of the land; 9 but the dove found no resting place for the sole of its foot, so it returned to him in the ark, for the water was on the *8:9 Lit facesurface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took it, and brought it into the ark to himself. 10 So he waited another seven days longer; and again he sent out the dove from the ark. 11 And the dove came to him in *8:11 Lit the time of eveningthe evening, and behold, in its *8:11 Lit mouthbeak was a fresh olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was low on the earth. 12 Then he waited another seven days longer, and sent out the dove; but it did not return to him again.
