Genesis 8:5-11

And 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. {decreased...: Heb. were in going and decreasing} And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. {to...: Heb. in going forth and returning} Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 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. {pulled...: Heb. caused her to come} And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 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.
