8Then God turned his attention to Noah and all the wild animals and farm animals with him on the ship. God caused the wind to blow and the floodwaters began to go down.H430H2142H5146H2416H929H8392H430H5674H7307H5674H5921H776H4325H7918 2The underground springs were shut off, the windows of Heaven closed and the rain quit.H4599H8415H699H8064H5534H1653H8064H3607 3Inch by inch the water lowered. After 150 days the worst was over.H4325H7725H776H1980H7725H7097H3967H2572H3117H4325H2637 4On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship landed on the Ararat mountain range.H8392H5117H7637H2320H6240H7651H3117H2320H2022H780 5The water kept going down until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains came into view.H4325H2637H1980H5704H6224H2320H6224H259H2320H7218H2022H7200 6After forty days Noah opened the window that he had built into the ship.H7093H705H3117H5146H6605H2474H8392H6213 7He sent out a raven; it flew back and forth waiting for the floodwaters to dry up.H7971H6158H3318H3318H7725H4325H3001H776 8Then he sent a dove to check on the flood conditions,H7971H3123H7200H4325H7043H6440H127 9but it couldn't even find a place to perch—water still covered the Earth. Noah reached out and caught it, brought it back into the ship.H3123H4672H4494H3709H7272H7725H8392H4325H6440H776H7971H3027H3947H935H8392 10He waited seven more days and sent out the dove again.H2342H312H7651H3117H3254H7971H3123H8392 11It came back in the evening with a freshly picked olive leaf in its beak. Noah knew that the flood was about finished.H3123H935H6256H6153H6310H2132H5929H2965H5146H3045H4325H7043H776 12He waited another seven days and sent the dove out a third time. This time it didn't come back.H3176H312H7651H3117H7971H3123H7725H3254H5750 13In the six-hundred-first year of Noah's life, on the first day of the first month, the flood had dried up. Noah opened the hatch of the ship and saw dry ground.H8337H3967H8141H7223H259H2320H4325H2717H776H5146H5493H4372H8392H7200H6440H127H2717 14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the Earth was completely dry.H8145H2320H7651H6242H3117H2320H776H3001 15God spoke to Noah:H430H1696H5146H559 16"Leave the ship, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives.H3318H8392H802H1121H1121H802 17And take all the animals with you, the whole menagerie of birds and mammals and crawling creatures, all that brimming prodigality of life, so they can reproduce and flourish on the Earth."H3318H2416H1320H5775H929H7431H7430H776H8317H776H6509H7235H776 18Noah disembarked with his sons and wife and his sons' wives.H5146H3318H1121H802H1121H802 19Then all the animals, crawling creatures, birds—every creature on the face of the Earth—left the ship family by family.H2416H7431H5775H3605H7430H776H4940H3318H8392 20Noah built an altar to GOD. He selected clean animals and birds from every species and offered them as burnt-offerings on the altar.H5146H1129H4196H3068H3947H2889H929H2889H5775H5927H5930H4196 21GOD smelled the sweet fragrance and thought to himself, "I'll never again curse the ground because of people. I know they have this bent toward evil from an early age, but I'll never again kill off everything living as I've just done.H3068H7306H5207H7381H3068H559H413H3820H3254H7043H127H120H5668H3336H120H3820H7451H5271H3254H5221H2416H6213 22For as long as Earth lasts, planting and harvest, cold and heat, Summer and winter, day and night will never stop."H776H3117H2233H7105H7120H2527H7019H2779H3117H3915H7673
