01:008:008 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
01:008:009 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.
01:008:010 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
01:008:011 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.
01:008:012 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
01:008:013 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.
01:008:014 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
01:008:015 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
01:008:016 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
01:008:017 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.
