1. But God remembered Noah and all the wild and tame animals with him in the boat. He made a wind blow over the earth, and the water went down.
|
1. And God H430 remembered H2142 H853 Noah H5146 , and every H3605 living thing H2416 , and all H3605 the cattle H929 that H834 was with H854 him in the ark H8392 : and God H430 made a wind H7307 to pass H5674 over H5921 the earth H776 , and the waters H4325 assuaged H7918 ;
|
|
2. The underground springs stopped flowing, and the clouds in the sky stopped pouring down rain.
|
2. The fountains H4599 also of the deep H8415 and the windows H699 of heaven H8064 were stopped H5534 , and the rain H1653 from H4480 heaven H8064 was restrained H3607 ;

3. And the waters H4325 returned H7725 from off H4480 H5921 the earth H776 continually H1980 H7725 : and after the end H4480 H7097 of the hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 days H3117 the waters H4325 were abated H2637 .
|
|
4. The water that covered the earth began to go down. After one hundred fifty days it had gone down so much that the boat touched land again. It came to rest on one of the mountains of Araratn on the seventeenth day of the seventh month.
|
4. And the ark H8392 rested H5117 in the seventh H7637 month H2320 , on the seventeenth H7651 H6240 day H3117 of the month H2320 , upon H5921 the mountains H2022 of Ararat H780 .
|
|
5. The water continued to go down so that by the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains could be seen.
|
5. And the waters H4325 decreased H2637 continually H1961 H1980 until H5704 the tenth H6224 month H2320 : in the tenth H6224 month , on the first H259 day of the month H2320 , were the tops H7218 of the mountains H2022 seen H7200 .
|
|
6. Forty days later Noah opened the window he had made in the boat, and
|
6. And it came to pass H1961 at the end H4480 H7093 of forty H705 days H3117 , that Noah H5146 opened H6605 H853 the window H2474 of the ark H8392 which H834 he had made H6213 :
|
|
7. he sent out a raven. It flew here and there until the water had dried up from the earth.
|
7. And he sent forth H7971 H853 a raven H6158 , which went forth H3318 to and fro H3318 H7725 , until H5704 the waters H4325 were dried up H3001 from off H4480 H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
8. Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had dried up from the ground.
|
8. Also he sent forth H7971 H853 a dove H3123 from H4480 H854 him , to see H7200 if the waters H4325 were abated H7043 from off H4480 H5921 the face H6440 of the ground H127 ;
|
|
9. The dove could not find a place to land because water still covered the earth, so it came back to the boat. Noah reached out his hand and took the bird and brought it back into the boat.
|
9. But the dove H3123 found H4672 no H3808 rest H4494 for the sole H3709 of her foot H7272 , and she returned H7725 unto H413 him into H413 the ark H8392 , for H3588 the waters H4325 were on H5921 the face H6440 of the whole H3605 earth H776 : then he put forth H7971 his hand H3027 , and took H3947 her , and pulled her in H935 H853 unto H413 him into H413 the ark H8392 .
|
|
10. After seven days Noah again sent out the dove from the boat,
|
10. And he stayed H2342 yet H5750 other H312 seven H7651 days H3117 ; and again H3254 he sent forth H7971 H853 the dove H3123 out of H4480 the ark H8392 ;
|
|
11. and that evening it came back to him with a fresh olive leaf in its mouth. Then Noah knew that the ground was almost dry.
|
11. And the dove H3123 came in H935 to H413 him in H6256 the evening H6153 ; and, lo H2009 , in her mouth H6310 was an olive H2132 leaf H5929 plucked off H2965 : so Noah H5146 knew H3045 that H3588 the waters H4325 were abated H7043 from off H4480 H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
12. Seven days later he sent the dove out again, but this time it did not come back.
|
12. And he stayed H3176 yet H5750 other H312 seven H7651 days H3117 ; and sent forth H7971 H853 the dove H3123 ; which returned H7725 not H3808 again H3254 unto H413 him any more H5750 .
|
|
13. When Noah was six hundred and one years old, in the first day of the first month of that year, the water was dried up from the land. Noah removed the covering of the boat and saw that the land was dry.
|
13. And it came to pass H1961 in the six H8337 hundredth H3967 and first H259 year H8141 , in the first H7223 month , the first H259 day of the month H2320 , the waters H4325 were dried up H2717 from off H4480 H5921 the earth H776 : and Noah H5146 removed H5493 H853 the covering H4372 of the ark H8392 , and looked H7200 , and, behold H2009 , the face H6440 of the ground H127 was dry H2717 .
|
|
14. By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the land was completely dry.
|
14. And in the second H8145 month H2320 , on the seven H7651 and twentieth H6242 day H3117 of the month H2320 , was the earth H776 dried H3001 .
|
|
15. Then God said to Noah,
|
15. And God H430 spoke H1696 unto H413 Noah H5146 , saying H559 ,
|
|
16. "You and your wife, your sons, and their wives should go out of the boat.
|
16. Go forth H3318 of H4480 the ark H8392 , thou H859 , and thy wife H802 , and thy sons H1121 , and thy sons H1121 ' wives H802 with H854 thee.
|
|
17. Bring every animal out of the boat with you -- the birds, animals, and everything that crawls on the earth. Let them have many young ones so that they might grow in number."
|
17. Bring forth H3318 with H854 thee every H3605 living thing H2416 that H834 is with H854 thee , of all H4480 H3605 flesh H1320 , both of fowl H5775 , and of cattle H929 , and of every H3605 creeping thing H7431 that creepeth H7430 upon H5921 the earth H776 ; that they may breed abundantly H8317 in the earth H776 , and be fruitful H6509 , and multiply H7235 upon H5921 the earth H776 .
|
|
18. So Noah went out with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives.
|
18. And Noah H5146 went forth H3318 , and his sons H1121 , and his wife H802 , and his sons H1121 ' wives H802 with H854 him:
|
|
19. Every animal, everything that crawls on the earth, and every bird went out of the boat by families.
|
19. Every H3605 beast H2416 , every H3605 creeping thing H7431 , and every H3605 fowl H5775 , and whatsoever H3605 creepeth H7430 upon H5921 the earth H776 , after their kinds H4940 , went forth H3318 out of H4480 the ark H8392 .
|
|
20. Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. He took some of all the clean birds and animals, and he burned them on the altar as offerings to God.
|
20. And Noah H5146 built H1129 an altar H4196 unto the LORD H3068 ; and took H3947 of every H4480 H3605 clean H2889 beast H929 , and of every H4480 H3605 clean H2889 fowl H5775 , and offered H5927 burnt offerings H5930 on the altar H4196 .
|
|
21. The Lord was pleased with these sacrifices and said to himself, "I will never again curse the ground because of human beings. Their thoughts are evil even when they are young, but I will never again destroy every living thing on the earth as I did this time.
|
21. And the LORD H3068 smelled H7306 a sweet H5207 H853 savor H7381 ; and the LORD H3068 said H559 in H413 his heart H3820 , I will not H3808 again H3254 curse H7043 H853 the ground H127 any more H5750 for man's sake H5668 H120 ; for H3588 the imagination H3336 of man H120 's heart H3820 is evil H7451 from his youth H4480 H5271 ; neither H3808 will I again H3254 smite H5221 any more H5750 H853 every thing H3605 living H2416 , as H834 I have done H6213 .
|
|
22. "As long as the earth continues, planting and harvest, cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night will not stop."
|
22. While H5750 the earth H776 remaineth H3605 H3117 , seedtime H2233 and harvest H7105 , and cold H7120 and heat H2527 , and summer H7019 and winter H2779 , and day H3117 and night H3915 shall not H3808 cease H7673 .
