1And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;⇆ compare2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;⇆ compare3And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.⇆ compare4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.⇆ compare5And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.⇆ compare6And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:⇆ compare7And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.⇆ compare8Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;⇆ compare9But 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.⇆ compare10And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;⇆ compare11And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.⇆ compare12And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.⇆ compare13And 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.⇆ compare14And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.⇆ compare15And God spoke unto Noah, saying,⇆ compare16Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.⇆ compare17Bring 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.⇆ compare18And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:⇆ compare19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.⇆ compare20And Noah built an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.⇆ compare21And 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 thing living, as I have done.⇆ compare22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.⇆ compare
