6 And it was at the end of forty days, and Noach opened the windows of the ark which he had made. 7 And he sent forth a raven, and going he went out, and returned until the waters were dried upon the earth. 8 And he sent forth a dove from (being) with him, to see whether the waters were lightened (or consumed) from the surface of the earth. 9 But the dove found no rest for the dividing of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, because the waters were upon all the earth; and he stretched forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to be with him in the ark. 10 And he prolonged yet seven days, and afterward added to send forth the dove from the ark. 11 And the dove came to him at the time of evening, and, behold, a leaf of olive broken off was in her mouth; and Noach knew that the waters were lightened from upon the earth. 12 And he prolonged yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove, and she added not to return to be with him again.
